The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers Written by Dave Ortlund How does Jesus feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book takes readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart―a heart of tender love drawn to sinners and sufferers. Endorsement “On the rough, rocky, and often dark path between the ‘already’ and the ‘not yet,’ there is nothing your weary heart needs more than to know the beauty of the heart of Jesus. It is that beauty that alone has the power to overwhelm all the ugly you will encounter along the way. I have read no book that more carefully, thoroughly, and tenderly displays Christ’s heart than what Dane Ortlund has written. As if I was listening to a great symphony, I was moved in different ways in different passages but left each feeling hugely blessed to know that what was being described was the heart of my Savior, my Lord, my Friend, and my Redeemer. I can’t think of anyone in the family of God who wouldn’t be greatly helped by spending time seeing the heart of Jesus through the eyes of such a gifted guide as Ortlund.” ―Paul David Tripp, President, Paul Tripp Ministries; author, New Morning Mercies and My Heart Cries Out “The Puritans breathed Christ-centered practices: they embraced the Bible as a lifeline, exercised it like a muscle, and relied upon it like a bulletproof vest. They knew how to hate their sin without hating themselves because they understood that Christ’s grace is an ever-present Person, a Person who understands our situation and our needs better than we do. They understood that we suffer because of sin. Dane Ortlund masterfully handles a treasure trove of Puritan wisdom and deftly presents it to the Christian reader. Read this book and pray that the Holy Spirit reveals Christ to you as the Puritans understood him, and you will be refreshed to understand God’s grace in a whole new way.” ―Rosaria Butterfield, Former Professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key Hardcover with jacket, 224 pages, notes, General Index, Scripture Index
