The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth by Thomas Goodwin is a sermon (turned into a book) that was written in 1651. We have updated Goodwin's most popular book in modern, updated English so you can understand exactly what he writes.

Goodwin argues that Christ's heart is full of love and mercy for those who have sinned, even though they deserve to be condemned. He states that Christ is constantly pleading with God on their behalf, interceding for them, and seeking to save them from their sins. Goodwin emphasizes that Christ's love and mercy for sinners is greater than their sins, and that God will forgive them if they repent.

It is a classic, devotional read that encourages readers to connect to the loving, saving grace of Jesus. We recommend this book for small groups, personal devotions, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the heart of Christ.
