The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ: A Life to be Learned

In The Meekness and Humility of Jesus Christ, Conor Gallagher invites readers on a deeply personal and prayerful journey through the Gospels, uncovering the quiet power and divine restraint of Christ in moments both familiar and overlooked. With poetic prose and raw vulnerability, Gallagher meditates on 40 events in Jesus’s life to reveal how His meekness and humility are not just virtues to admire, but lessons to be lived. This is not merely a devotional—it is a summons to encounter Christ more intimately and be transformed by the quiet thunder of His heart.

• Readers will gain fresh insights into how these the virtues of meekness and humility—often overlooked or conflated—are distinct yet harmoniously embodied in Jesus, even in unexpected Gospel events.
• Through Gallagher’s method of slow, prayerful meditation and reflection, readers are encouraged to experience the Gospels in a deeper, more integrated way, noticing connections across chapters and stories that reveal the seamless unity of Christ’s life and His eternal invitation: “Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart” (Mt. 11:29).
• The book aims not merely to inform, but to draw the reader into intimate dialogue with our Lord, encouraging personal prayer, reverence, and transformation through daily, contemplative engagement with Scripture.
