Max Ehrmann’s prose poem “Desiderata”, with its direct instructions - "go placidly”, “enjoy your achievements”, and others - has inspired millions of listeners.
In the spirit of Ehrmann’s “Desiderata”, world-renowned ethicist, theologian, and preacher Samuel Wells offers eight encouragements to listeners 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’ Walk Humbly will inspire listeners to stop, reflect, and think deeply about essential existence.
