I recommend the book "Healing the Culture" for some simple discussion about God and our relationship to Him. The author notes that love is the highest value of people and that the fact that our Creator made us this way probably indicates the nature of God. And, it explains why God had to become Emmanuel, or "God among us."

Here's Dr. Spitzer's website:

and the end of a story he tells:

""Remember the story of the people with no elbows? There was a fourth group of people who were watching all of the activity around the table. And as they were watching, they caught a glimpse of the eyes of the suffering people who were sitting across from them. And they noticed a goodness in the eyes of the other. They saw that there was intrinsic dignity, and something of great worth sitting before them. And this understanding moved those people to empathy. And this empathy moved them to compassion. And this compassion moved them to reach out their elbowless arms across the table, pick up the food from one another's plates, and feed each other.

And it was in this selfless act of goodness that the people with no elbows discovered the true meaning behind their suffering...

LOVE.""
