New book - 66 Love Letters

This month I want to share a review of the book, 66 LOVE LETTERS by Larry Crabb. Larry starts with the premise that God's Word is a "love letter" to His children. From this perspective, he condenses the message of each book of the Bible as if it is message from God to us. He begins each book of Scripture with a "what God wants us to know" section. This book is a powerful means for us to understand the entire message and the different themes of the Bible. The book's purpose is not to be source for reference, but as a source of inspiration; a book that encourages us to understand just how personal a God we have. The book ends with a 66-paragraph composite of the entire message of the Bible; quite a feat. I highly recommend this book since I have learned at a much deeper level how great and loving God is!
