I just started reading this book. You can go here to buy if you want.
There are 208 stories in the book about the most important people, events, and ideas of the Hebrew Bible.
I just read the first story about the beginning and the very last paragraph says, "Yet good as it was, creation was still unfinished (after the 7th day). The Rabbis of the Talmud deduced from God's ceasing to create that it is humankind's mission to serve as God's partner in finishing His creation and perfecting the world."
I had never really thought about creation in this way, but I really like it. It is a very interesting take on it. What are your thoughts about this? What are you doing to help God create? Very thought provoking.
