Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent by N.D. Wilson
5.0
There's never a dull moment when I read Nate Wilson. Although this book has a different feel than Notes from a Tilt-a-Whirl, Wilson's voice is still prominent in describing the beauty of death and the stories we leave behind. Death by Living seems to be dedicated to the loss of both his granddad and grandfather (on both sides of the family), what their lives meant to Nate himself, and how God can weave the circumstances of different people to create a beautiful picture of His narrative.
There were times when I felt like I was experiencing the scenes myself; when his grandfather fought the Korean war, when he saw the kid in the yard playing "pretend-baseball" in his imagination, or when Nate and his wife were walking along the beach together as the sun painted the sky red. I felt like I was part of the family as he described how his grandmother passed away. It all felt real, which is what made Death by Living so great.
