Selflessness: The Forgotten Christian Virtue
A Biblical Study
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Contention division conflict - in the church and in society is rooted in the cause of disunity in lives brought about by the self-centeredness of individuals - not just one person, but many. Loving God first and then loving our neighbors as ourselves (Mt 22:37-40) are the beginnings of a selfless life.

About the Book
Selflessness: The Forgotten Christian Virtue is the result of a life spent working and interacting with thousands of people over a forty-five-year career. My experiences blessed me with an understanding of the human tendency to be selfish as I witnessed the need for self-denial.
This is not a theological book; rather, it demonstrates our need for the practical use of God’s Word in our lives. Scripture is meant to be lived every day. We are most happy when we yield to our Savior by submitting to His will. My motivation is to show the incredible benefits of a practical application of God’s Word.
It is my sincere wish to benefit your life specifically. It is essential for Christians to live for Jesus. The selfless life will help you to bring people to Christ and understand it is God, not self, who is able to pilot our life.
Finally, it is my goal to always apply God’s Word in the way it was intended.
This book has four objectives, to wit:
• to demonstrate how detrimental the self-oriented way of life is to people,
• to show the importance of selflessness in this life,
• to emphasize the commandment and example of Christ to deny self, and
• to disclose the remarkable benefits of a selfless way of life.
My sincere hope is that you will eliminate selfishness from your life as you strive to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
