Have you ever read the Bible only to come away confused? Learn the meaning of each of the 66 books of the Bible and how each one is a love letter to God’s people. After working with people as a psychologist for four decades, author Larry Crabb invites you to explore the Bible in a new way. He offers a fresh, relational look at Scripture through intimate discussions with God. Told through a series of "conversations" between himself and God, Larry wrestles through what God intends us to understand in each of the 66 books of the Bible. Each book tells a story that is a part of a larger one of God and how He loves His people. Perfect for a small group, bible study, or used as a daily devotional, Larry asks deeply honest questions such as: “God, what is it you wanted me to see in Obadiah?” “And what’s up with Leviticus? Is there anything there for me?” “This one verse in Galatians has always frustrated me. Why is that?” “The way you wrote Revelation makes it difficult to understand—why didn’t you just describe what will happen in a straightforward way?” Listen to the story of God unfold through these chapters, and you’ll find not only His redeeming love, but His plan and provision designed especially for you. Though life may not be going according to your plan, God has another one, far better than you can imagine. From Genesis to Revelation, experience His invitation to get you dancing with joy.
I am a teacher. I teach about relationships because after two failed marriages (and add another two that failed for my husband), I just had to learn how to do it and how to get it right. It is said, “We teach what we have to learn.” Anyone who knows me will tell you that when I decide to do anything, I do it with all of me. When something works for me and helps me grow and improves the quality of my life, I am steadfast. Since I began to learn how emotions work, and then began to recognize mine and the effects of healing those old ones that never got expressed, I have been 100% committed to use what I learned and the results in my life have been almost unbelievable. A few years ago I started looking at what we had in our relationship that most others don’t seem to. I wondered, “What are our secrets? And can I help others with them too?” Following are those things that we believe have created the quality and depth of our relationship and we believe they can do the same for you. When my husband died in 2015, we had had 31 years of a highly successful marriage and we'd like you to have the same. The book is divided into 10 chapters. The chapter headings are the 10 main secrets that we have learned and want to offer you. They are: Secret 1. You have to be real and you have to feel good enough about yourself to be real. Secret 2. Making your commitment to the relationship and not each other works way better. Secret 3. You can’t expect your partner to do anything you are unwilling to do like forgiving and giving up being right. Secret 4. You have to learn how to communicate honestly and appropriately. Secret 5. You have to remember that love includes compassion and non-judgment. Secret 6 . You have to be aware when the connection is dying and do something about it. Secret 7. You have to let them know they’re doing a good job. Secret 8. You have to own up when you’ve messed up – and learn from it. Secret 9. You have to get that a good relationship is sacred and make time for it. Secret 10. You have to own the whole job – take full responsibility. After four failed marriages between us, we were determined to learn how to make this a good one. We learned. There are some very special things we noticed after all of those years and we wanted to help you learn them too so you can wake up one day and notice how many years have gone by and you still have the relationship of your dreams.

"A warm and wry epistle, the endless and near-perfect email you wish your mother, your mentor and your therapist would sit down and type out together." —Laura Kolbe, Wall Street Journal In 2017, Dr. Suzanne Koven published an essay describing the challenges faced by female physicians, including her own personal struggle with "imposter syndrome"—a long-held secret belief that she was not smart enough or good enough to be a “real” doctor. Accessed by thousands of readers around the world, Koven’s “Letter to a Young Female Physician” has evolved into a deeply felt reflection on her career in medicine. Koven tells candid and illuminating stories about her pregnancy during a grueling residency in the AIDS era; the illnesses of her child and aging parents during which her roles as a doctor, mother, and daughter converged, and sometimes collided; the sexism, pay inequity, and harassment that women in medicine encounter; and the twilight of her career during the COVID-19 pandemic. As she traces the arc of her life, Koven finds inspiration in literature and faces the near-universal challenges of burnout, body image, and balancing work with marriage and parenthood. Shining with warmth, clarity, and wisdom, Letter to a Young Female Physician reveals a woman forging her authentic identity in a modern landscape that is as overwhelming and confusing as it is exhilarating in its possibilities. Koven offers an indelible account, by turns humorous and profound, from a doctor, mother, wife, daughter, teacher, and writer who sheds light on our desire to find meaning, and on a way to be our own imperfect selves in the world.
