Walk Humbly: Encouragements for Living, Working, and Being

Max Ehrmann's prose poem Desiderata, with its direct instructions --go placidly, enjoy your achievements, and others-- has inspired millions of readers.In the spirit of Ehrmann's Desiderata, world-renowned ethicist, theologian, and preacher Samuel Wells offers eight encourage-ments to readers in Walk Humbly, his own more extended prose poem. Each simple, direct exhortation--be humble, be grateful, be your own size, be gentle, be a person of praise, be faithful, be one body, be a blessing--is accompanied by thought-provoking, insightful comments.Drawing on startlingly perceptive observations of contemporary life and reflecting a deep knowledge of philosophical and religious wisdom, Wells's Walk Humbly will inspire readers to stop, reflect, and think deeply about essential existence.
