Gentle and Lowly, Hardback Edition

Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
by Dane Ortlund — Hardback Edition

For the discouraged, the weary, and those who wonder if they’ve exhausted God’s grace—this book offers a tender and transforming answer.

In Gentle and Lowly, pastor and theologian Dane Ortlund invites readers into the very heart of Jesus—one not filled with frustration or shame, but overflowing with compassion, gentleness, and love. Drawing from Matthew 11, where Jesus describes Himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” Ortlund explores what it means that Christ is drawn to sinners and sufferers, not repelled by them.

Blending rich biblical insight with wisdom from Puritan writers like Thomas Goodwin and John Bunyan, Gentle and Lowly uncovers the deep mercy of Christ and His desire for weary people to find rest in Him. This is not a book about what Jesus has done (though that matters deeply)—it’s about who He is, right in the midst of our mess.

Why We Love It:
This beautifully bound hardback edition is one you’ll return to again and again. It's a book that slows the heart, silences shame, and tenderly reminds us that Jesus doesn’t merely forgive—He welcomes.
