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 Gods abiding faithfulness to generation after generation of his children.
God of My Father is an intensely personal book, a moving tribute to the influence of a godly mentor and faithful father. (God of My Father Includes discussion guide for Bible study, discipleship, and discussion groups) 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. Crabbs personal journey with his family will be an inspiration to all those who are seeking to find deeper meaning in their spiritual walk." Kenneth W. Ogden, Ed.D. "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 "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 lifes 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." Paul Lewis "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. "If this book doesnt touch your heart, you dont 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. |
