David Atwell reviewed Gentle and Lowly by Dane C. Ortlund
Review of 'Gentle and Lowly' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
"Have you considered what is true of you if you are in Christ? In order for you to fall short of loving embrace into the heart of Christ both now and into eternity, Christ himself would have to be pulled down out of heaven and put back in the grave."
One of the most compelling and thoughtful looks at the heart of Jesus for humans I've ever read. A balm and salve for those wounded by a toxic Christianity with an impersonal God; a repudiation and table-flipping for those who contend that Christ is merely a warrior or a barrel-chested stoic. This book feels like taking the first breath of warm, fragrant spring air after a winter spent indoors.
