Humble Strength challenges misconceptions about humility and reveals how it is a strong foundation for a life of virtue.
In his first book with Ascension, Catholic author and clinical psychologist Dr. Kevin Vost shows readers how to radiate humility in all aspects of life and reap the benefits of seeing oneself as God does. Humble Strength: The Eye-Opening Benefits of Humility sets out to present how Catholics can build a virtuous life based on the virtue that St. Augustine identified as “the foundation of all other virtues.”
“We will find that humility, though lowly and meek, is anything but weak—a veritable spiritual Atlas that not only holds up the earth on its back, but which helps us grasp hold of God’s ‘strong hand and … outstretched arm’ (Psalm 136:12) that makes any burden light,” writes author Kevin Vost. “Humility stands ready to help us ascend—all the way to heaven!”
Featuring spotlights on the saints to demonstrate how humility has been uniquely lived out throughout the history of the Church alongside many personal examples and anecdotes, Humble Strength shows readers why humility is central to the Catholic spiritual life and reiterates Christ’s call to all Catholics to pursue this saintly habit.
Humility is a virtue with the ability to transform not only one’s spiritual life but also the day-to-day aspects of modern living. Humble Strength provides the wisdom and practical steps for all Catholics to begin growing in this powerful virtue!
