The term \u003ci\u003emidrash\u003c\/i\u003e comes from the                 Hebrew root \u003ci\u003edarash\u003c\/i\u003e which means to seek, search, or demand (meaning from the biblical text). The starting point of our search for                 personal meaning is the Bible itself. Each generation,                 each reader, can approach the text anew and draw meaning from                 it.\"\u003cbr\u003efrom \u003ci\u003eSelf, Struggle \u0026amp; Change\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e                \u003cp\u003eThe stress of late-20th-century living                 only brings new variations to timeless personal struggles.                 The people described by the biblical writers of Genesis                 were in situations and relationships very much like our own,                 and their stories still speak to us because they are about the                 same basic problems we deal with every day. \u003c\/p\u003e                \u003cp\u003eLearning from Adam and Eve, can we find                 the courage not only to face our other side, but to draw                 strength from it?
