Becoming a True Spiritual Community: A Profound Vision of What the Church Can Be 23 reviews
Larry Crabb
Thomas Nelson, 2007
For those who ask if there is more...
There is a growing sense among many within the church that there must be more. Futurists including George Barna suggest that there is a significant number of believers choosing to go underground in their faith --- forming home groups in an effort to foster the kinds of relationships that can't naturally happen during a few hours on Sunday morning.
In BECOMING A TRUE SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY, Larry ...

The Pressure's Off: There's a New Way to Live25 reviews
Larry Crabb
WaterBrook Press, 2004
Mind and Life changing, worth the read
"The Pressure's Off," by Larry Crabb is the most significant book I've read related to my spiritual life and emotional healing in the past 20 years. I recommend this book for finally getting a correct perspective on God's plan and presence in our personal lives. This one book substitutes for a combination of numerous counseling or discipleship books. In addition, unlike the other books, Crabb's ...

Review of Effective Biblical Counseling: A Model for Helping Caring Christians Become Capable Counselors
The book was purchased for a class I took at my church. I think the book is perfect for an indepth study of Christian Counseling. My class only lasted 8 weeks, so we didn't really have time to delve into it. I would recommend the book to any counseling student.

This book could truly change your relationship with your heavenly father. Would you like a closer relationship with a Mighty God as dad? It is truly possible but it takes a little while to get your hands around this concept. Read the Book!

Connecting: Healing Ourselves and Our Relationships17 reviews
Larry Crabb
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Review of Crabb's "Connecting"
As a counselor and pscyhologist Dr. Crabb spent decades analyzing people's problems from a scientific perspective. Solutions he offered were based upon scientific and psychological terms. In "Connecting," Dr. Crabb looks at people's problems from a spiritual perspective. Solutions he offers from this perspective are based upon biblical and spiritual understanding.
Instead of seeing people ...

The Marriage Builder 17 reviews
Larry Crabb
Zondervan, 1992
Soul Mates: Becoming Your Spouse's Spiritual Friend
"The Marriage Builder" by Dr. Larry Crabb has become something of a classic in the genre of Christian books on husband-wife relationships. In it, Crabb highlights three relational areas: the couple's spiritual relationship to God, their social/soul relationship to one another, and their physical relationship to each other. When dealt with properly, and in priority order, Crabb asserts that ...

Oh boy... I learned soooo much!
My men's group read and studied this book together. Dr. Crabb is unbelievable and he has made me a convert. This is a very deep read and if you are really interested in learning more about yourself and His mission for us, read this book.
If you are serious about addressing your own issues, this book is very helpful, but it is highly recommended that you read this while in communion with ...

Soul Talk: The Language God Longs for Us to Speak6 reviews
Larry Crabb
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Revolutionize method to help others
The standard methods of counseling, advising, pastoring, praying, etc are innefective in helping ourselves and others reach spiritual maturity and a right relationship with God. Soul talk, when correctly applied, will change all that. And a professional degree is not necessary. As with all things concerning God, the most effective tool is the Holy Spirit living within us.
I think the book ...

Shattered Dreams: God's Unexpected Pathway to Joy34 reviews
Larry Crabb
WaterBrook Press, 2002
For all who hunger and thirst...
It's interesting reading through the comments posted on Amazon books. Call me a pessimist, but I find I often pull up the low stars reviews first. I want to see what made angry or disappointed folks bother to post at all. Are they on a mission to save others from wasting their time? Are they trying to correct the author's theology? Or, are they merely wanting to contribute another perspective to ...

Lawrence J. Crabb
NavPress Publishing Group, 1997
Why hasn't anyone recommended this book to me before?
I've only finished the first chapter, so perhaps this review is premature, but I've been deeply struck so far. My only question is, why hasn't anyone recommended this book to me before? Or, why haven't I come across this perspective anywhere else? It represents an approach to solving one's problems that is fundamentally orthogonal to everything else out there, in both the church, and the world. ...

Encouragement: The Key to Caring 8 reviews
Larry Crabb, PLLC, Dan B. Allender
Zondervan, 1990
Spiritual Friendships
Some books age well. Normally that's because they present timeless truth in timeless ways. They avoid dating themselves by wedding themselves to the latest fad or passing fancy. Encouragement is just such a book. It describes the power of timely spiritual conversations motivated by grace and spoken heart-to-heart.
This work is the most practical and immediately applicable of the many works by ...

Great Book, very informative, flows easily
I was required to read this book for my Biblical Foundations of Counseling class, and I am so glad I actually read it! This book seriously helps you understand the workings of your own mind and even if you don't have deep rooted issue, you still are able to understand things like your thought process better! I recommend anyone who wants to understand the way sinful humans think to read this book! ...

Finding God12 reviews
Larry Crabb

Why does God allow suffering??
I have been on a long search for answers to 'why do these bad things happen??'
In this book he writes; "If we believe God is powerfull, we are not convinced that he is kind because, if he CAN relieve our suffering, why doesn't he? The silence of God during tough times strengthens this foundational doubt that God is good."
I have read book after book during the past year none of which offered ...

excellent reading for the serious seeker of truth
I've often thought that Christians needed a "reality check". When I read this book, I discovered that I was the one in need. I have never read a more honest,helpful, and relavant book. I wish Dr. Crabb lived in my neighborhood. Inside Out deals with why Christianity doesn't seem to solve the real issues of every day life, and how we as individuals can really make a difference in our world. As ...

Thomas Nelson, 2003
Great Book
Crabb's latest book does an excellent job of telling you how to really minister to what is going on in the deepest parts of people. What makes this book so good, it it refuses to give you a formula. Granted he has steps, but his steps are more to get you to avail yourself to the holy spirit's leading. Thus SoulTalk will look a variety of different ways. Crabb really shows you how to pay attention ...

Best book on the business of filmmaking
This book will definitely help anyone with a script or movie from getting taken to the cleaners by a producer or distribution company. In addition, A man I highly admire, Jerry Molen, wrote the foreword for this book. This book assisted me in getting my last movie, The Indie Pendant, made. And, you should look for me to be talking about it on my new radio show, The Indie Film Hour, coming in ...

McCall Crabbs Standard Test: Lessons in Reading Book F
I use this with a High School student who hates to read. The passages are short and interesting. They provide him with the opportunity to practice reading strategies, yet not to have to read for a great deal of time.
He also likes to discuss new information he gains from the passages.
