The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness (A Book Reflection)

The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timoty Keller is an explosive little book. A friend suggested it here first. He expounded on the contents of the book a lot better than I can (so click that link and have a read). I read it this morning (about 8 hours before writing this post).

The line that is replaying itself in my head is: "... the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or less of myself, it is thinking of myself less..." (32). This Keller goes onto say is, "blessed self-forgetfulness".

I will be contemplating this for a while yet!

I really suggest you get your hands on this book, especially if low/high self esteem is something you struggle or are aware of in your own life.

Grace and Peace,
Andy
