My Thoughts

Forty days to experience God’s love and to discover what He has to tell you through this devotional.

Each day start with a devotional written by Larry Crabb.   The title itself is meaningful and will touch you to the core.  A scripture is always mentioned before you get to the devotional.  Then once you have read it, you can take a moment to reflect on your own life, on God and on how He is part of your life.    Finally the daily reading is completed with a prayer which is based on the reading you have just completed.   In all I would say that you will more than likely need 15 to 30 minutes to do the devotional depending of the time spend in your reflections.

This specific book is based on the previous title 66 Love Letters.  Larry Crabb has taken forty selected passages from the book and added thought-provoking questions as well as a prayer to conclude the devotion. I find that it is a good book to get yourself in the habit of doing devotions on a daily basis.  Once you have re-connect yourself with God with these love letters, you can pick another devotional that will help you to grow.  I am enjoying these devotional and plan to go through it during the next month and a half.    It is a great reminder that God loves us quite a bit and would do anything to keep us in His arms.

Discover your story in the midst of the great plan of God while going through this devotional.

God’s Love Letters to You – a 40 Day Devotional Experience is available at your favourite bookstore, even amazon.ca.
