The pride and the will are two giants within every person that must be brought under control. Many factors shape the trajectory of a person's life: childhood, education, relationships, and personal struggles. Some of these are external circumstances beyond our control. Others are internal choices for which we bear far greater responsibility, such as the faith we embrace, the principles we hold, and the disciplines we practice. This realization invites a deeper question: which internal forces shape our lives most profoundly, and how can they be stewarded wisely toward a better outcome. In this book, the author reflects on his own journey and uncovers two powerful giants at work within every person: pride and will. These forces operate quietly yet relentlessly, shaping decisions and affecting relationships with others and with God. Though both are inherent parts of our humanity, they are formidable. Left unchecked, they lead to conflict, brokenness, and eventually ruin. Through careful biblical reflection and lived experience, this book examines these two giants candidly. It offers spiritual insight and practical guidance for recognizing their influence, understanding their power, and bringing them under God's authority. The goal is not self-denial for its own sake, but a transformed inner life that leads to clarity, true freedom and lasting meaning. (Rev 1.1)
