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

 

         We don’t usually think of God when we pick up a dust cloth or a saltshaker. But after reading fun facts and tie-ins to the divine in ordinary objects and in occurrences such as earthquakes and rainbows, we may see them differently. Andrew Wilson does a masterful job of helping us appreciate traces of God in the mundane.

          Pigs, tools, horns, stones, donkeys and the sun are just some of the topics in which Wilson finds interesting tie-ins to spiritual matters. He helps us discern and notice God in our universe while going about our daily duties.

          The book is an easy read with short chapters and notes in the back matter. I read this as a library book but plan to buy it for future reference. The back cover describes Wilson as a pastor and author who finds in created things “illustrations of the character and gospel of God.” Definitely, a good read.
