'Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl' by N. D. Wilson

N. D. Wilson's book Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl is magical, simply that.  In reading it I was reminded of God's hugeness and also His sense of humor.  And while I'd admit to the book often being a bit 'out there,' which makes sense after a friend said the book wasn't linear, it all did fall into place.  I will say, though, that I never did understand his chapter titles.  Those didn't make a lick of sense.

Maybe right-brainers would easily get WIlson's style of writing.  I tend to be smack in the middle of the right/left brain debate, every quiz says so, and while sometimes his phrases would hit home, often I'd be wrinkling my forehead and stumbling along.

Bottom line---Wilson says "We have been created as recipients."  We're God's creation and He can choose to run things any way He chooses.  Life is art.  Yes. Life can be and is messy. Another yes.  But it's still God's.

Wilson takes some getting used to.  I'm familiar with his writing and also his dad's from 'Credenda Agenda.' I never fully understood that magazine either, but even so, it still had some darn good meat in it.
