Understanding People: Why We Long for Relationship

Dr. Larry Crabb argues that understanding people requires turning to the Bible as a reliable source of information. This Gold Medallion Award-winning book explores how Scripture addresses the deep needs of the human heart and examines the connection between spiritual and psychological realities. The book offers perspective on human nature—who we are and what drives our relationships with others, God, and ourselves. Organized in three parts, it first establishes the Bible as a source of insight into matters of the heart. It then addresses human brokenness as beings made in God's image, and demonstrates how people can recover their capacity to reflect God's character as they move toward maturity and restored relationships.
