In his book, Dave Harvey makes a distinction between righteous ambition, centered on the glory of God, and evil ambition, centered on our personal glory. However, since godly ambition has concrete foundations, Harvey helps us understand the relationship between ambition on the one hand, and humility, faith, and especially the gospel, on the other. Dave Harvey is both an experienced pastor and a skillful writer. You will be edified by his book and you will want to read it to the end!

Throughout his book, Harvey brings this war to light and trains us to be better soldiers. »
