When they planned the release of Gentle and Lowly in April, 2020, Dane Ortlund and his publishers could not have known the global pandemic and national unrest we would all be facing. but God knew. He knew we would need this reminder of His heart for us the midst of so much pain and uncertainty. In only one place in the gospels, Jesus describes His heart towards us as meek or gentle and lowly (Matthew 11:29). In easy to read, self-contained chapters, Ortlund shows us various aspects of Christ’s character and work that display His heart of love for His children. Many years ago, the ladies of YM were blown away by the love of God poured out for us as described by Barbara Duguid in Extravagant Grace. Ortlund’s Gentle and Lowly shows us the beauty of the Savior whose very nature makes that grace a reality for us.
