The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness
null
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.
