In this extraordinary book, Martin Buber expounds on our relationship with the Creative Force, and how we fit into the world in relation to others. He says "history is a dialogue between Deity and mankind, we can understand its meaning only when we are the ones addressed, and only to the degree to which we render ourselves receptive. The meaning of history is not an idea which I can formulate independent of my personal life. It is only with my personal life that I am able to catch the meaning of history, for it is a dialogical meaning."

You can read the book in a couple of hours, and spend the next few years dissecting and reacting to what he says. The drama has been played out for thousands of years, as we struggle to make some sense of our relationship to what Creative Force we find fulfilling. Martin Buber is worth checking out, just for all the things he was involved in.
