I was looking forward to reading this after coming across several positive reviews, but after getting to page 66 (out of a total of 216), I gave myself permission to stop. I spent time trying to figure out why I didn’t want to finish this book, which reflects on the words of Jesus “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.

It’s not the verse and certainly not who said it, but I just couldn’t stay focused on the pages. The writing was just too “academic” for me, with footnotes on almost every page. I wanted a writing style I could relate to without having to interpret and translate it. I’m not criticizing the theology or the author, but this book just wasn’t for me. ( )

This is such a beautiful book! It is filled with biblical truth and encouragement. Every Christian can benefit from reading about the One who is Gentle and Lowly to know Christ more deeply. ( )

Jesus understands our struggles. ( )

This book helps Christians understand the heart of Christ in the midst of all the suffering and failures of life. Drawing from Puritan theologians, Ortlund examines the topic from a Reformed doctrinal viewpoint. While the book is devotional in nature, the author's writing style is suited more towards Christians with a solid theological grounding. ( )

This is a fascinating book! Looking at the Bible through the focus of Jesus's heart. The depth of His love is still unfathomable from the viewpoint of fallen people. However, it is good to realize that even with all our wounds, defects, mistakes, and obstinances, Jesus still enfolds us with His arms of grace and mercy and stands beside us as we try to navigate this fallen world. A must-read! ( )

Epigraph
Fatherlike he tends and spares us
Well our feeble frame he knows
In his hand he gently bears us
Rescues us from all our foes
