It started before Eden - in heaven, with five words: I will. It reached the Garden through a grasping hand. And it lives in every human heart that has ever turned toward its own way instead of God's.
This book traces selfishness from Lucifer's fall to Eve's reach in the Garden, through the exact words Scripture uses to name it - eritheia, self-seeking ambition; philautoi, lovers of themselves - to the cure Jesus gave in three plain words: deny yourself.
Across eight chapters, this simplified study walks through:
- The Root - where selfishness entered the world
- The Original Sin Behind All Sin - Lucifer's five I will statements
- The Isolated Heart - why selfishness always ends up alone
- Selfish Ambition Named - Philippians 2's cornerstone diagnosis
- Lovers of Themselves - Paul's end-times warning
- What Love Refuses to Do - 1 Corinthians 13 against selfishness
- Deny Yourself - Jesus's direct cure
- Christ Pleased Not Himself - the answer at the cross
Written in plain, everyday language with large 16-point print, each chapter closes with Reflection and Prayer. Includes a Dedication Prayer and full Salvation Prayer.
