The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
Over 1 million copies sold
Christians can easily feel that Jesus is perpetually disappointed, maybe even close to giving up on them. In Matthew 11 Jesus describes himself as gentle and lowly in heart, longing for his people to find rest in him. This book dives into the Bible’s witness to Christ’s affections for sinners and sufferers.
