Despite unprecedented affluence, the scourges of mental illness, drug addiction, and loneliness are at an all-time high. Political, racial, sexual, generational, and religious polarization is ripping us apart. Why? Sometimes, the profoundest truths are the most ancient. In this provocative new work, apologist, neuroscientist, and author Dr. Steven Willing explores the age-old and forgotten sin of Pride, demonstrating a startling harmony between Biblical precepts and cutting-edge research in how our minds work. In that wisdom we find answers to some of our most challenging questions:
*What is the key to unlocking the mystery of human behavior?
*What is the root of most conflict and failure?
*How can smart people believe crazy things with complete certainty?
*What is the single greatest impediment to personal success and happiness? *How come the “experts” disagree over everything? Can we trust them? Should we?
But it doesn’t end there. The remedy lies in the Virtue of Humility, the only means by which we become vessels of God’s mighty power. This is an apologetic work demonstratinghow the most recent neuroscientific research affirms ancient Biblical precepts. This is a devotional book to bring you closer to God and to deeper inner freedom and peace. This is a leadership manual focused on the single greatest – and most ignored - obstacle to effectiveness. We are all afflicted by a fatal flaw. Superbia will show you how to recognize it, and how to overcome it. Read this if you dare. You will never think the same again.
"I am blown away....I have been blessed devotionally in having had the privilege of reading your draft. In my opinion, it is the equal of any work of popular theology I have ever read, and superior to the vast majority."
"Combining cutting edge research with a consistent Biblical world view, I have never read (indeed, it may not exist) a more thorough, well written, and accessible exploration of pride and humility. I can't recommend it enough. If you think 'I don't need to read a book on pride', trust me, you do. I did."
"EVERY pastor and EVERY leader in the church should read this book. I've never read anything like it."
"Dr. Willing has done a masterful job of understanding pride versus humility. The content is amazing, and I appreciated the research and depth put into this book. I would heartily recommend the book to others that want to do a deep dive into the importance of humility. A wonderful work!" -
