Dr. Larry Crabb is one of my favourite authors.  He has quite a way with words.  A couple of years ago he wrote a book entitled 66 Love Letters where he summed up in a concise post-resurrection manner the 66 books of the Bible to descibe all the ways in which God told the story of His love for us.  It was worth the read.

Here’s one of the quotes from out of the book: “In the world you now inhabit, communion with Me is not defined by an experience of Me.  Nor does it depend on blessings from Me.  To really live is to release My Son’s life through yours, in any circumstance, no matter what you feel, to relate as He related, giving when no one gives back, loving when no one returns love, forgiving when no one deserves forgiveness, suffering in the place of those who should suffer.”

Dr. Crabb was interviewed on Crossroads about this book several times and here is one of the great interviews in relation to it:
