Pride is a component of personality that we all must deal with, Christians, desiring to be well grounded in their faith, need to examine and control their pride, based on the teaching of God's Word. As in all other aspects of life, the Bible has a great deal to say about pride. The Old and New Testaments abound with examples of how men and women dealt with pride, what God thinks of it, what its source is, and how we ought to deal with it in our daily lives. Yet, the topic has seldom been dealt with in Christian literature or from the pulpit. Secular psychology, of course, has a good deal to say about it. How do humanistic values coincide with God's view of pride? Isn't a little pride OK if it is controlled? Is it the amount of pride in possessions, relationships, country, children, achievements, knowledge, good works, and appearance, and even about spiritual pride. These are just a few of the topics covered. This book is designed for mature Christians who desire to walk more closely with their Lord.

Reviewed by Daniel Ferrell (Hamilton, OH), September 25, 2007 This book seems to take a straight forward approach to biblical interpretation and therefore historic theology.This is exactly what I need: to study the sin of pride from God's point of view. Pride or Praise is refreshing because it is honest and to the point. Write a review of Pride or Praise?
