God's to-Do List

All human beings are made in the image of God. But for what purpose were you made? The biblical answer is clear: you are to imitate God in order to bring God's presence into the world. Jewish tradition calls this ?repairing the world; ? Christianity calls this ?bringing God's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.? This practical guidebook to repairing the world details the biblical accounts of what God does, not what God says: God creates, rests, calls, blesses, encourages, forgives, promises, provides, leads, visits the sick, and comforts the mourner. For each of God's characteristics, this inspiring resource suggests what might be on God's to-do list for you, the many ways you can make a difference in the lives of others and find the ultimate source of meaning for your own. Topics include honoring your parents, visiting the sick, doing deeds of lovingkindness, studying Torah, probing the meaning of prayer, protecting animals, supporting the poor, making peace between one person and another, and much, much more.
