I was recently given the opportunity to read ‘God’s Love Letters to You: A 40-Day Devotional Experience’, and mostly enjoyed the short and sweet daily readings.  The book takes 40 of the books of the Bible (20 OT + 20 NT) and portrays them as love letters from God to us.  Overalll, Dr. Larry Crabb has a great writing style, very easy and comfortable to read.  Each devotion includes an opening scripture, a short devotional message, reflection questions, and a closing prayer.

Each devotional usually started out with “God Says:”, and continued to speak as I would imagine God would to any of us.  One of the things that at first made me a little precautious was the fact that the author quite frequently spoke (as God) in a first person voice.  I took it very carefully at first, making sure that nothing he said as God was going against what the Bible says about Him.  It definitely took some getting used to, but eventually, I became accustomed to the overall tone and setting of the devotions.  I felt that the daily  readings were sometimes too short (sometimes only taking a few minutes to read), but were very useful in my everyday walk with God.

Overall, the devotional book was great.  Looking back, the narrative tone of God, while at first a little strange, made the book seem more personal.  It has and will help me in my daily walk with the Lord.  I’d recommend reading it if you are needing some encouragement, it feels that God is speaking right to you.
