The Heart of Jesus

Concise Edition of Dane Ortlund's Book Gentle and Lowly, Edited for Young Readers, New Christians, and Seekers

When Christians struggle with sin, they can easily feel that God is close to giving up on them. But in Matthew 11, Jesus describes himself as "gentle and lowly in heart," longing for believers to find rest in him. The good news of the gospel flows from God's deepest love for his people.

In this concise book adapted from the bestselling Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund, readers will encounter Jesus's tender heart for sinners and sufferers. Written for a wide audience-including younger readers, new Christians, and anyone who struggles with reading-it features easy-to-read terms and helpful explanations. The chapters are also short enough to read at bedtime, around the dinner table, or during lunchtime. The Heart of Jesus dives deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is, comforting and sustaining readers with the affections of Christ for his people.
