Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane C. Ortlund
5.0
Oh my.
This is one of those rare non-fiction books that moved me to tears multiple times while reading it.
It showed me aspects of Christ's love for us that I had never understood or comprehended before in an exposition that's very Puritan and even more biblical. I regularly found myself in disbelief when I was reading this book about how the love of Christ could be that rich toward us. But in every place, Ortlund pointed readers back to the Scripture to see where these promises are found in God's Word itself.
This is easily the best book I've read this year, and probably for the past several years.
It's not a book I'll soon forget.
Rating: 5.0 Stars (Extremely Good).
