The Gentleness of Jesus (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Gentleness of Jesus The words must be taken in connection with their context. They set forth with exquisite imagery the gentleness of Jesus; but it is, in the first place at any rate, not the gentleness which stoops to take up the bruised reed and make it whole again. The words occur in the very midst of the controversy with the Pharisees. He and His disciples had gone through the cornfields on the Sabbath day; they were hungry, and as they went they plucked the ears of corn and eat them. The Scribes and Pharisees came murmuring that He had blasphemed the Sabbath. He silenced them instantly and defended His disciples from their murmurings. But there He stopped. He did not push His advantage, but withdrew. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Mind of Jesus


Book Description




Gentle and Lowly


Book Description

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.







The Teaching of Jesus, Concerning the Christian Life (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Teaching of Jesus, Concerning the Christian Life He was right. Some men do not give religion any place in their lives. They think they can do without it. They have other aims which they consider higher, or to which they give more care ful attention. Others seek religion and hold it in esteem, but they do not make it the principal thing. They think more of something else. Religion has a place in their lives, as they suppose, but it is a low place, an Obscure corner. It does not come to the front. But those who give religion no place or a low place in their lives not only act contrary to their own reason and higher impulses, but they violate the Whole spirit of revelation, and especially the definite and repeated teachings and commands and expostula tions of Jesus.

The Allure of Gentleness


Book Description

The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ’s word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus’s message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. This beautiful model of life—this allure of gentleness—Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.
