I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Larry Crabb, on our radio show “Kingdom Highlights”, for his new book, “66 Love Letters” A Conversation With God That Invites You Into His Story published by Thomas Nelson.
The Bible has been called a book of 66 love letters as there are 66 books in the Bible and Dr. Crabb has expanded on that idea with his new book. He tells us of when he and his wife used to communicate before they were married they would write letters to each other and how he knew that she loved him was that she would put an upside down stamp in the corner as their secret code. Late one night when Dr. Crabb could not sleep he asked God what the Bible was all about and God told him that the Bible was God’s story of His love for mankind.
Dr. Crabb was fascinated by this new concept and he then asked God to give him bullet points for each book of the Bible which God did. In “66 Love Letters” Dr. Crabb takes us on a journey through the Bible as he looks at each book and the components of each book and shows us why the events of that book declare the great love of God for mankind. For instance, in the book of Genesis, Dr. Crabb explores the events of each of the patriarchs and the tower of Babel and shows us new meaning behind each story.
“66 Love Letters” is a book that needs to be read over a period of time one chapter at a time and then needs to be thought about and considered. Then the book needs to be put away and, after a period of time, needs to be brought back out and read again, chapter by chapter, day by day. God has much to say to us and we need to take to the time to hear Him. We can do exactly that in the pages of this book. Thank you Dr. Crabb of writing this book!
