Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

So i got this book because of a friend who shared it with me. Right now im in this season God has me in awe of His love and compassion for others and learning to love.And so yeah she shared it with me and I got it. I thought it was 11 dollars at first and now its 14? I got charged 16.98,But either I am still excited to read it.Upon getting ready to read it, as I start to open it i see the pages are stuck together at the top and the first few pages are not even. Is that normal?? I had to obviously be very gentle trying to pull them apart so they wont tear and it tore a bit, kinda sad cause I spent 16$ on this book.Still gonna read it though lol,I just wanted to be honest on my review.I just realized that its from crossway, they make beautiful stuff. I have the whole collection of the bible journals

We all have ideas of who God is, but how many of those thoughts are actually biblical? I’m middle aged and have always been a Christian, but this book rocked me in a good way. I needed to read what this book had to say. “The purpose of this study of Christ’s heart is that it is an attempt to make our mental image of who God is more accurate. I am seeking to help us leave behind our natural, fallen intuitions that God is distant and parsimonious and to step into the liberating realization that he is gentle and lowly in heart.”

This is most insightful, biblical and practical book on following Christ I have read in decades! Embracing the author's insights is the antidote to nominal Christianity.

Haven’t even finished the book yet, and have been truly inspired! A must read!!

A fresh view and great reminder of Jesus’ heart toward us. In depth view of Gods immeasurable grace and riches in kindness.

This is a great book!! It really encouraged and helped my spiritual walk get back on track from a season of distraction!! I would suggest it and Dane Ortlund’s Deeper book.

As i am progressing in reading the book i reach chapter 11, the book is excellent in showing the side if jesus heart that i have never thought of, drawing me near to a warm place the heart of Jesus.However, so far the book is only focus on Jesus's sweet heart and genuine love without mentioning Jesus condemnation of our sinning nature, this could lead us to think that as long as jesus is gentle and loving , i can continue with my way of sining

This is a great read especially for someone who is struggling in their faith. It’s not super deep or hard to understand. It’s a an encouraging easy read.
