review 1: Insightful, witty, funny and wise, N.D. Wilson demonstrates a worldview so obvious, so plain, so self-apparent that it's no wonder so many educated people miss it. His poetic defense of faith, if indeed it can be called a defense, is no logician's treatise, no philosopher's opus. Yet neither is reason and logic absent. Wilson respects the love of wisdom as he respects the sunrise, but he recognizes the limits of a human's ability to firmly grasp either. This is a poet's tome, content to fit his head into the heavens rather than try to shoehorn the heavens into his head. This book is a must-read for fans of G.K. Chesterton especially, but also for Christians of every stripe and for skeptics who don't take themselves too seriously.
review 2: A whirlwind ride of d... moreynamic spinning thoughts on all that is: life, death, God, ants, philosophy, art, words. Reading this book feels like a jaunt through a brain. There are so many beautiful nuggets in here that I want to read it several times over and over. There is aching in this book and humor and irreverent reverence for an enormous and fantastic God-Author who is continuously speaking us and our world into being. This book is both an exclamation mark of praise and an ellipsis of mystery. I can't wait to read it again. (Plus, a great read for the Advent season.) less
