God of All Things: Rediscovering the Sacred in an Everyday World

“It is a rare delight to be gripped by a book within the first few sentences. Every book lover knows the feeling, and how fleeting it is. But it's why we keep picking up new books, isn't it? The thrill of being sucked in, lost in the mind of the author, and forever changed by the experience. Conversely, I'd argue that those who self-identify as "non-readers" just haven't found the right book yet.
Andrew Wilson's God of All Things was one of those rare books that had me at the table of contents. I actually woke up my already-sleeping-wife to read her a selection of the opening chapter on Dust. "When the greens and browns of life have been and gone we get the beige of death. And God says to us, you are made of that." I've been chewing on those 27 words since.
From Tools, to Earthquakes, to Mountains, to Galaxies, to Bread, to Trees, each chapter is a brief but potent biblical theology which plumbs the depths and heights of God's Word and God's World. I found my vision sharpened, my worship deepened, and my comprehension of Christ's redemptive work enriched. On top of that–or perhaps because of that–it is a genuine joy to read, one of my favorites over the last few years. It's the perfect book to read devotionally, out loud or in a group, a chapter at a time, or all at once. What more could you ask from a book?”

“Reading each chapter, I marveled anew at the kindness of God to instruct his children with such gentle care.”

“Andrew Wilson is one of my favorite writers. And this book reminds me why. He displays a gift for weaving biblical theology with everyday illustrations that leads me to worship God. In this book, you’ll get to know God’s Word more deeply. And you’ll never look at the world the same way.”

“A tour of delight! Read God of All Things and you will be certain to grow in godward worship and childlike wonder.”

“Creation was always meant to point beyond itself, and Andrew Wilson shows us the myriad and wonderful ways in which it does. This book is packed with insight and nourishment on every page. I found myself pointed to Christ in so many surprising and fresh ways, and provoked to worship a God of such grace and beauty.”

“What a wonderful book! God of All Things caught my attention from the start, reminding me that all God's works--and I do mean all--proclaim his glory. From rainbows to donkeys to everyday tools, the things of this life really do reveal the God of life. This book is a delightful primer in learning how to truly see things for what they are.”

“A treasure of a book from Andrew, and one that I didn't want to finish. Seeing God through everything he has made is sheer delight”
