God Said, We Said: the Interpersonal Act of Creation Robert E. Joyce

A challenge to all believers in God to raise their awareness of the power and beauty of their own being at creation and their failure to be perfect as they were gifted to be. In creation, God's act of gifting us with being yields a perfect created person, but we humans on earth are those who responded immediately with less than a perfect yes to the gift of being. The book calls for a significant shift in the worldview of God-centered people. The story of Adam and Eve is told in a provocative way that may make more sense than creationists and evolutionists could ever do. Creation out of nothing is radically distinguished from creation out of something, such as dust, a rib, a fall.
