Jerry Bridges's last book, published by NavPress in June 2016, three months after his death in March of that year. A short book of about 140 pages, subtitled in some listings Walk Within Your Calling, it explains what humility is, what Scripture teaches about it, and how it is shown. It takes the Beatitudes of Matthew 5 as a pattern for humility, moving from poverty of spirit and mourning over sin through hunger for righteousness, meekness and mercy to persecution. Later printings include a study guide. Max Lucado, Eugene Peterson and C. J. Mahaney endorsed it.
