God’s Story: How He Made Mankind

In six days God makes everything perfect; but in just one day man and woman spoil it all. No wonder God gets angry and exasperated. Over and over he comes to the aid of his favorite creation, over and over they let him down and turn their backs on him. This is the story that runs throughout the Old Testament. And this is the story-God’s story — that is told in this remarkable book. Drawing on the The Midrash Rabbah, a collection of lively explanatory texts written by rabbis two thousand years ago, Jan Mark brings to life the great episodes and characters of the Old Testament — Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, Cain’s feud with Abel, Noah’s ark, Joseph and his brothers, the parting of the Red Sea, Moses and the Ten Commandments…. What emerges is the portrait of a God struggling to be at one with his wayward creation; a God who thinks and speaks and suffers. Told in twelve vivid chapters and illustrated with dramatic black-and-white drawings and magnificent full-color plates by David Parkins, God’s Story is a narrative of rare quality for all ages to savor.
