"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.

In this life we see time and time again where patience runs out, where parents say "I picture God looking at me and saying, "Again? Really? Didn't you learn from the last 300 times that you did this?!'" We see where others have fallen short and where we have fallen short with our love of others, of God, and of ourselves. We want to know God loves us, and to some degree we know He does and believe that He does, but to what extent? What if He really knew just how fallen our hearts are... what if we just try to perform better, serve more in the church and community, maybe He'll love, or at least tolerate, us more.

Christ's heart for you is not dependent on you. And I know you know that, but do you really believe it in your heart? Do you truly believe and have your identity secure in that you are seen by Him as His perfect bride, beautiful, radiant and holy? Do you see HIM accurately? He is the most beautiful, gentle, kind, and loving person there is. To see His heart is to love Him.

This book will take you deeper into your eternal romance with Christ as you see His heart. When you hear and think about what He Himself revealed about Himself and His heart in scripture, the eyes of your heart and mind will widen with awe as you take in His beauty. Let His heart change you. Let His heart change your relationship with Him. Let His heart change your life. Let His heart win your's more deeply than ever before.

Dane Ortlund, thank you. Thank you for answering the calling to pen this book.

This book challenged or changed the perspective from which I look at almost teaching of Jesus ever.

How can He be so high and mighty and yet love even someone who’s heart is cold to Him as if He is the one blessed by our presence?!

By being gentle and lowly.

From the emotional and spiritual profundity of the content, to the warm, well-paced performance of the reader, this read was far greater than the scores of great reviews I heard about it! I doubt many of my friends had the honor of listening to it read on audible, but boy did they miss out. Maybe it's my extroverted nature talking, but I highly recommend a listen to this even if you've read the book already.

So rich and moving!
