    <![CDATA[<strong>A visual, poetic exploration of the narrative nature of the world and the personality of the Poet behind it all.</strong>   <p>When Nate Wilson looks at the world around him, he asks &quot;What is this place? Why is this place? Who approved it? Am I supposed to take it seriously?&quot; What could such an outlandish, fantastical world say about its Creator? </p>  <p>In these sparkling chapters, Wilson gives an aesthetic examination of the ways in which humanity has tried to make sense of this overwhelming carnival ride of a world. He takes a whimsical, thought-provoking look at everything from the &quot;magic&quot; of quantum physics, to nature's absurdities, to the problem of evil, evolution and hell. These frequently humorous, and uniquely beautiful portraits express reality unknown to many Christians-the reality of God's story unfolding around and among us. As the author says, &quot;Welcome to His poem. His play. His novel. His comedy. Let the pages flick your thumbs.&quot;</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Reading this book really was a little like riding a tilt-a-whirl. Your brain is made to spin in too many directions at once, and you have the sensation of being a bit dizzy, but you really want to keep riding. With well crafted words and a healthy dose of the ridiculous, N.D. Wilson paints a picture...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66462321">more...</a>]]></body>
