Read this book if you want to know how to enter heaven
A friend gave me this book and I wondered, "Do I have too much pride?" No, she wanted me to read the most amazing book ever! Read this book, then read it again. If you follow what the authors have laid out, I think you can be assured of your place in heaven.

Becoming Humble
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I read it over and over as I am trying to learn what it has to teach: how to become humble. Because Pride is the root of all vices, humility is its counterpoint and the weapon to use to conquer it. Thus, one who wishes to become humble will need a good guide and lots of holy help. In our culture self-esteem (actually a synonym for pride and selfishness), we will need a lot of help in overcoming the pervasiveness of pride in the culture. This is a great guide, short and to the point, on how to do that very thing.

Best book I'veever read
This is a must-read for anyone who is truly serious about his faith. As the author says, the one thing that everyone in heaven has in common is humility. The brevity of each article makes it easy to read a bit every day as each one is no more than 2 pages. But the depth contained in each article gives you plenty to meditate on for at least a week. This book will help you to crush your pride and come to realize just how small you truly are. I plan to restart the book as soon as I finish it.
