a conversation with God

I was so intrigued by the idea of author Larry Crabb in writing “66 Love Letters”, was excited to get my hands on a copy, and captivated by what I read. I have always thought of the Bible as God’s love letter to us and appreciated the relational and nitty gritty way that Crabb summarized the truths God has revealed in His love letter to us. The book has short chapters, one for each book of the bible, and is further organized into 7 parts; providing an overall view and quick glimpse at God’s plan for mankind. The more I poked around this book, the more brilliant the organization of it proved to be. Although the chapters are brief, they encourage the reader to delve into God’s word and ponder what they find; I found Crabb’s writing to convey Biblical truths. I appreciate the honesty and sincerity that is woven throughout these pages; it does not come across as a know-all or absolute in knowledge. It reads more like a diary of the musings and wisdom of a fellow follower. 66 Love Letters has a permanent spot on my book shelf and I have already recommended it to many others. It is definitely worth obtaining a copy.

once upon a time . . .

. . . there was a little girl who loved to read. Who used to play with her sister that they were at a library and she was a librarian checking out books. Books were her constant companion as she grew. Now that little girl is all grown up and has become a real librarian. She still loves to read. She is planning on sharing her thoughts with you about the books she's read, what she enjoyed, what she wished she hadn't read, quotes that stick with her, and the joy of stories and information found within pages bound together.
