Summary

"I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ's heart." (Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out)

Christians know what Jesus Christ has done — but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is "gentle and lowly in heart." This audiobook reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

Wonderful truth

I’ve read this book a couple of times and found it life changing, reassuring and so helpful. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
The audio book, read by the author, has been a further blessing to my soul.

Loved ny many but not by me.

Not for me. I struggled with this book. I felt that it took liberties in claiming to enter the mind of Jesus. It seemed "sloppy" in the sense of an old fashioned love song.

The beautiful cover matches the beautiful words

I loved the metaphors, which helped me to deeper understand the pure love God has for me. I feel a new sense of freedom as a Christian from reading this marvellous book.

Soul food

A devotionally rich unveiling of God's heart in Christ for his people. Heavily reliant on the Puritans, Ortland turns to various Scriptures and delves deeply into the original languages to exposit them for the good of our souls. Beautifully written yet also quite wordy and clunky at parts due to long sentences.

Necessary!

This is a necessary book for every believer and I dare say, unbeliever because it shows, in such an undeniable way, the heart of God!
