Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul

What an excellent book this was! The author uses examples from nature to explain biblical truths. Personally, as one who has always loved nature and cultivating the earth, the thoughts and word pictures in this book really interested me. Even if you don't consider yourself an outdoors person this book had a fresh perspective on humility that I think every woman should experience. In fact, I did not expect this book to be one of the best I'd ever read but was happily surprised. I was convicted and taught throughout the chapters of this easy-to-read book. The author uses simple examples from nature paired with life-changing truths from the Bible which will really change your perspective on life. This book is a must-read, especially for women!

Find abundance in a humble life.

A lot of books these days are trying to diagnose our discontentment—too busy, too distracted, too hard on ourselves, too (fill-in-the-blank).

While many of us could do to simplify, peace is not about productivity, saying no, or any other external. It’s about saying yes to our dependence on God. This is what Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul is all about.

Exploring Jesus’ “Come unto me” invitation, Philippians 2, and various texts from the Gospels, Hannah Anderson reveals:

The cause, nature, and dangers of busyness and self-dependence
The myriad benefits of humility
What humility is (and isn’t), and why it’s essential to our identity
How Christ modeled humility through His incarnation
How humility plays out in our salvation and sanctification
How to learn humility and walk in dependence on God
The reason many of us feel so unsettled is that we are attempting to be something we were never intended to be—it’s an internal issue. We need to recover a theology of creaturehood that leads to true abundance, and Humble Roots is the perfect place to start.
