| Publisher Description: When God created the earth, there was no such thing as pain, sadness, are death on the earth. It was paradise, where man walked without fear, because there was nothing for man to fear. He had need of nothing, for God had provided him with everything. God even provided him with a mate. And all things were good. But as we look at the world today, we can see that things are no longer perfect. There are still many wonderful things in the world, but there are also terrible things such as sickness, war, violence, and death. Have you ever wondered what the cause of it was, what was the reason that things changed from being perfect to what they are today? The answer of course is sin, this is where I ask the question what happened, what lead mankind to commit sin, and of course the answer is one that can be debated. But I would you to look at what I feel may have lead to it, the answer may shock you. What I would like to do here is take a look at what may have helped mankind give into sin, the answer is pride. It's due to our pride that we end up thinking more of ourselves than we should. When we allow this to happen we get caught up in ourselves and it then becomes all about us and we end up losing our focus on God. We end up seeing the things that God is doing though us as something that we are doing and not giving the glory to God, thereby taking the glory for ourselves. What I would like to do here is share with you what God has showed me about pride and how it affects our lives. After all, whether we will like to admit it or not we all have pride in our life in some way, most of time we are blind to it. What I have set out to do in this book is to expose what pride is and how we can deal with it. It's my hope that after reading this book you will have a better understanding of what it is and how to deal with it in your life. |
