The Story Everyone Needs to Hear: Exodus

Thur. morning on “The Morning Light” I read the excerpt for Exodus from Dr. Larry Crabb’s “66 Love Letters.” In the epilogue Crabb boils the Bible down to 66 paragraphs and brings it in God’s voice:

“I will do whatever it takes to fully restore My family and to have them with Me forever. My plan centers on revealing the lengths to which My love will go to bring you to My party. You walked away from Me, but when you realize who I AM, you’ll want to come back.”

Former Voice of Packers, Badgers, Bucks Dies

The former sports play-by-play voice of the Packers, Badgers and the Bucks, Jim Irwin, has died at the age of 77. As a ninth-grader, I interviewed Irwin in front of my Jr. High as part on an assignment for a Careers class. I asked him ten questions about his job as a sportscaster for WTMJ Radio and TV, as well as his play-by-play responsibilities. I greatly appreciated him taking the time to come to my school and answer his questions. I learned much about broadcasting from him. I’m sad to learn of his death.

The Story Everyone Needs to Hear

In the epilogue of his book, “66 Love Letters,” my favorite author, Dr. Larry Crabb, offers a summarized view of the entire Bible and calls it “The Story Everyone Needs to Hear.” As most have not read Crabb’s book, or the subsequent, smaller devotional, “God’s Love Letters to You,” I want to offer selected portions at my blog beginning today and continuing in the days ahead.  The story is told in God’s voice as translated by Larry. So let’s begin in the beginning:
