From Publishers Weekly
Atlanta-based pastor Boone (Your Wife Is Not Your Momma) here instructs readers on living humbly, like Jesus. Humility, says Boone, is one of the most important words that has defined the nature and character of Jesus Christ, meaning that in descending from heaven to earth, Jesus fundamentally lowered himself. Therein, suggests Boone, is one of the secrets to pursuing the Christian life. This slim book is full of useful hints, designed to help readers actually follow Jesus' example of humility: for starters, says Boone, Christians should pray as Jesus prayed, and they should never hesitate to spread God's message. But this is not merely a religious how-to. Boone also threads musings on biblical stories throughout; for example, he points to Moses as a model of servant leadership. He draws on more recent historical personages, such as Harriet Tubman, in showing that humility does not make one a doormat. Perhaps the book's only flaw is that at times it reads like two books in one; interwoven with the discussion of humility is a great deal on leadership. Though this material is not wholly irrelevant Boone suggests that humility is not at odds with leadership, for the best leaders are those who submit themselves to God it nonetheless feels shoehorned. But that is a small complaint with a book so full of insight and wisdom. Boone, never ponderous, writes with a light touch, and his timely reminder of an oft-neglected virtue is sure to be accessible and inspiring to a wide-ranging audience.

Product Description
Wellington Boone, author of the popular, well-reviewed Christian marriage manual Your Wife Is Not Your Momma, delivers the unvarnished truth about what it takes for Christian believers to become Christ-like.
While becoming a believer in Jesus and joining the Christian faith are a gift of God a person need only accept, following Jesus requires much more. To walk in the footsteps of Jesus means making sacrifices like those he made if one is to imitate the example of Christ every day.
In The Low Road to New Heights, Wellington Boone elucidates the often difficult path to becoming a true disciple of Christ. Through examples drawn from real life and passages from the Bible, Bishop Boone gets to the heart of the matter: by living a humble life, Christians can conform to the character of Jesus. In an engaging style, Boone offers a serious spiritual regimen–a kind of high-energy Christian aerobics routine–that will last a lifetime. For those who want to move from being Christians in name only to being spiritually committed followers of Christ, Boone provides the no-nonsense, down-to-earth advice and inspiration they need to achieve their goal.
