God of My Father
God of My Father: A Son’s reflections on his Father’s walk of faith
In God of My Father, Dr. Larry Crabb shares with us his personal spiritual mentor, a man strong in faith and steady in his walk. That man is his eighty-year-old father, Lawrence Crabb, Sr.

This book is about mentoring: how an older person influences a younger person for good. Even more, it is the intensely personal story of a godly father, and of God’s abiding faithfulness to generation after generation of his children.

God of My Father
"I am in the dwindling minority of folks who have been drawn to love God by their fathers," writes Larry Crabb. "For many people, father is a bad word, meaning one who abandons, abuses, demeans, and demands perfection. I hope this book will increase the number of children in the next generation whose fathers reveal God to them, rather than distort or obscure him."

God of My Father is an intensely personal book, a moving tribute to the influence of a godly mentor and faithful father.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS BOOK:

"Through recollections of a father and reflections of a son, the reader will experience ‘a whiff of heaven’ that will bring joy in the recognition of the goodness of God. Dr. Crabb’s personal journey with his family will be an inspiration to all those who are seeking to find deeper meaning in their spiritual walk."

"As males try to figure out what it means to be a man, here is a model for them. Lawrence and Larry Crabb show us the Christian man who is strong in the right way and tender in the best way."

Tony Campolo

Eastern College

"If you ever doubt your influence as a father, read this book. If you wonder how God could work in spite of your faults, read this book. If you yearn to leave a rich legacy to your children and grandchildren, keep reading. If you wish God made more sense in the middle of life’s messes, these pages are a must. The Crabb men make the power of Christian faith real and irresistible. I am one father who is encouraged and enriched by their candor."

"No person has influenced my life and thought more than Larry Crabb. He has exposed my heart and drawn me to God. Nothing he has written has provoked me, tantalized me, and drawn me to the mystery and goodness of God like God of My Father. Both men invite us through simple and profound stories to glimpse the wonder of how God tells his story through our lives. I believe you will read with awe, at times envy, and undoubtedly with a passion to know God."

Dan B. Allender, Ph.D.
author of Bold Love

"If this book doesn’t touch your heart, you don’t have a heart. It is poignant and moving. Those of us who have not had good relationships with our fathers can really benefit from what Larry has done here."

Archibald D. Hart, Ph.D.
dean and professor of psychology
Fuller Seminary
