Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl

I blog review for Thomas Nelson and received this book free in exchange for post my reviews.

I used to love going to the carnival. I liked all the rides, but especially the ones that spun you, flung you around and of course the roller coasters that when really fast. In N.D. Wilson's book Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl you go on such a ride but never leave the ground.

Wilson takes a different look at the world around us from every perspective, almost at the same time. He dares to think both theologically and philosophically at many aspect of life that sometimes we don't know how to connect. He looks creation, providence and evil in not only what did happen, but what might have happened to what could have happened but didn't.

This is certainly a good one to have on your shelf as a reminder that the sin-tainted world we live in is not simple or straight, but the God who is Creator is there and hears. I don't know that one will see this book quoted in alot of academic papers but you will likely use its insights in teaching and preaching.
