Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl: Wide-Eyed Wonder in God's Spoken World by N.D. Wilson

5.0

In the preface to this book, Wilson writes, “What excuses can I possibly make for this book? ...I do not (to my knowledge) have a diseased brain…” Of course, as we later found out, Wilson was in fact suffering from a brain tumor. What bothers me is that I do not (to my knowledge) have a diseased brain, and so what excuses can I possibly make for enjoying this book so much?

This is a very “abnormal” book dealing with the problems of evil and suffering in a world governed by a Holy and Sovereign God. The book needs to be read as a whole; it is basically impossible to pick out little nuggets of quotable truths throughout, but the sum total of the book is very powerful.
