Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl
Wide-Eyed Wonder in God's Spoken World Trade Paper
From Publishers Weekly
This theological ride thrills with a colorful whir of profound and profoundly amusing meditations on creation, existence and God.
Product Description
A visual, poetic exploration of the narrative nature of the world and the personality of the Poet behind it all.
When Nate Wilson looks at the world around him, he asks "What is this place? Why is this place? Who approved it? Am I supposed to take it seriously?" What could such an outlandish, fantastical world say about its Creator?
In these sparkling chapters, Wilson gives an aesthetic examination of the ways in which humanity has tried to make sense of this overwhelming carnival ride of a world. He takes a whimsical, thought-provoking look at everything from the "magic" of quantum physics, to nature's absurdities, to the problem of evil, evolution and hell. These frequently humorous, and uniquely beautiful portraits express reality unknown to many Christians-the reality of God's story unfolding around and among us. As the author says, "Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. His comedy. Let the pages flick your thumbs."

wrote: N.D. Wilson has done a good thing with his book, "Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl" -- he argues for a creator and then he argues that creation is good, a notion lost to many evangelicals today.
At times, Wilson examines the whole of the world from the subatomic level -- quarks, leptons and other tiny things that ... Book Review: N.D. Wilson's "Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl"
