The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness

Book •
In "The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness," Timothy Keller delves into the concept of pride and its destructive effects on human life.

Keller argues that pride is not merely a moral failing but a fundamental distortion of our relationship with God and others.

He explores how pride leads to self-centeredness, isolation, and a lack of genuine joy.

The book offers a compelling case for the transformative power of humility and self-forgetfulness, suggesting that true freedom comes from surrendering our ego and embracing a life of service.

Keller's insights are rooted in both theological and psychological perspectives, providing a comprehensive understanding of pride's impact on our lives.
