Obituary
Renowned Christian psychologist, speaker, and Bible teacher Dr. Larry Crabb died on Sunday, February 28th, peacefully and pain free in his home after a 24-year battle with two types of cancer.
Dr. Crabb earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Illinois. He was the founder of NewWay Ministries and co-founder of Larger Story. He started and developed the counseling center at Florida Atlantic University and established two other counseling programs, first at Grace Theological Seminary and then at Colorado Christian University which continue today. He was a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Colorado Christian University in Morrison, Colorado, and taught at Regent College in Vancouver, B.C., Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana, Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida, as well as the University of Illinois where he was given the Teacher of the Year Award. In 2018, Colorado Christian University named their counseling center after Dr. Crabb.
Dr. Crabb authored his first book in 1975 entitled “Basic Principles of Biblical Counseling.” He wrote over 25 books during his career, winning two Gold Medallion Awards for his titles “Understanding People” and “Inside Out.” He released his final book, “Waiting for Heaven: Freedom from the Incurable Addiction to Self,” in 2020.
