Humble & Kind

This Tim McGraw book is the perfect little encouragement gift. Gave them to my pastor, youth director and son for Father's Day. My son gave them to his close buddies for Father's Day.

Humble & Kind...it is a profound truth isn't it? We live in a world filled with them. We know that they are there because we were raised with them, practically from birth. As we get older, we find ourselves far too busy navigating ourselves from one place to another. So busy, in fact, that we forget to stop, roll down the window, and listen to the reminders that these truths speak. Inevitably, they end up staring at us forlornly as we pass them by on the highway of life.I can hear the cries now, "We don't have time to stop! We have places to be and things to do!" But, how could we not have time? Are we so driven to get to where we think we need to go that we can't stop, even for just a moment? It seems that we would just rather drive right over everything and everyone without thought to the truths in which we were brought up. Taking time out is just another bump in the road that we can't afford, right?But sometimes the truths have a way of reaching us despite every obstacle thrown at them. They are quite remarkable that way. While on a long stretch of road, they know we will inevitably reach out to turn on the one medium that will keep us focused on the drive ahead. It is in that moment that the truths will speak volumes in a very simple and melodic way that stops us dead in our tracks.Humble & Kind, as sung by Tim McGraw, delivers one of the most profound truths we have. No matter what, we should always stay humble and kind. In the companion and keepsake book entitled the same, we find McGraw relating his own life experiences and reminding us that through the power of art, we can invoke the ability in all of us to reflect and act on this truth. At the end of the day as he said,"it's important to be reminded how impactful it can be simply to be kind to others; to show respect, compassion, and tolerance; to support diversity; and to have strength to be humble in the midst of it all."Music has the ability to transcend everything. When truths are delivered through song, they have the ability to break through all interference that we throw at it. This concept is so creative, and so very, very clever.All the truths wanted is for us to listen to them...and head their words. In this case, be humble and kind. It's so easy to be kind as kindness comes in all shapes and sizes. Humility, on the other hand, is a far more greater balancing act that requires a thoughtful conscience. You want to be/do this, yet you need to be/do that. When we fall, we lose our way; but, when we get back up and try again, we learn that we are only human and that we will make mistakes. We are humbled, and we are kind as those mistakes allow us to reach out and help the one behind us navigate the road we just stumbled through.Tim McGraw's book, Humble & Kind, reinforces the truth so beautifully delivered in his song. While he was not the songwriter, props should go out to Lori McKenna for penning the reminder and for allowing McGraw to deliver it in a stirring rendition that will stand the test of time. How grateful we should all be to have both the song and the book to remind us daily that we all need to humble & kind.

I like the simplicity of the book. Easy reading and reminds me of words I was taught as a child. Always be kind to others.

I expected a little bit more, but what I did read WAS uplifting and kind.Tim McGraw has some great thoughts here.

Tim McGraw is one of my most favorite people. He has said, done and sang some amazing things over the course of his career. He has kept his family close to his heart and #1 in his life. Even supporting and loving his own father when most would have said " to heck with you too!" I got this book for my niece for her graduation and hoped that his message of love, tolerance and kindness might resonate in her life into the woman she will beome. We could all learn,grow and love other's from his message in this song and written in this book.

This was a gift for my father in law, who loves the music video and lyrics. Though it is just the song written with some nice pictures, the overall treasure/heirloom value is priceless. It is a gift to last and will make a nice coffee table read or maybe even a good first date with my daughter time. It is a wonderful song and the hardback book brings it to life once again.

A simple but Very powerful and relevant message. I recommend everyone reads this and thinks about it. And of course, listens to the lyrics.

Just what I wanted .

Tim McGraw is a good person and lives what he sings.

This is a small, almost pocket sized book. I must not have read the description because I was surprised when I got it. Not a huge fan of the pictures but my son loves the song and it was a gift for him.

I gave copies of Tim McGraw's book to my 3 kids for a Christmas in July gift and they loved it. Wonderful simple words to live your life by!

Arrived ahead of time. Beautiful message, love this song.

Wonderful book
