Finally Home
The Christian Hope of Heaven
If we are not in Christ, this life is the best we will ever experience.
If we are in Christ, this life is the worst we will ever experience.
In Finally Home, Dane Ortlund plunges into the word of God and the wisdom of the saints to help us rightly think about heaven, and to draw strength from our coming future more deeply than we ever have before. Writing with the same pastoral warmth and enchanting prose that mark Gentle and Lowly and Deeper, he speaks directly to the heart about what eternity with Jesus will be like.

Gentle and Lowly
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.
