Editorial Reviews
An Idea Film. A Bookumentary.
A cinematic treatment of a worldview. A poet live in concert. A motion picture sermon. VH1 Storytellers meets Planet Earth. 60 Minutes meets Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. In this unusual but fascinating film sequence, best-selling author N.D. Wilson gives an emotional and intellectual tour of life in this world and the final chapter that is death. Everything before and after and in between is a series of miracles--some of which are encouraging, others disturbing and uncomfortable.

N.D. Wilson's love for the world that God has spoken comes through with the best kind of authenticity. This compelling film revels in Wilson's contention that "you can learn more from an anthill than from Heidegger". He is not afraid to raise the biggest of questions, and more importantly, to answer them, not just with speculations from a book filled room, but in the context of a life lived inside God's story. Wilson is no slouch as a thinker, but having stepped outside into a wild world, he fills out life's questions with answers that touch the whole person, head, heart, and hand. This is philosophy for real people: not dumbed down, but fleshed out. This world, and all of our experiences in it, are part of a story that is being told, and instead of grumbling about your lines, Wilson invites the viewer to meet the world with gratitude, because the story God is telling is a good one.

Awesome. I don't normally review anything on here but since this is new and I know how heavily I rely on the ratings on Amazon for purchasing decisions I just have to get this out there. You will not be disappointed. Wilson hits heavy on a topic that I love from John Piper (who got it from CS Lewis) which Piper calls "The wakening wonder of what's really there." So buy this and start to wake up.

This film is able to awe me when I'm complacent, confront me when I'm bored, and challenge me when I'm not asking the hard questions. It--scenes, discussions, people, humor and sorrow, settings, insects, you name it--is beautiful.

Less a movie and more a spoken-word poetry documentary music video, Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl is hard to classify, but then that only makes sense considering that ND Wilson seems... Read more

Book is better, but not in all ways
It's cliche but I'll say it because it's true. The book is better than the movie. The book is more challenging and thorough, and the philosophy feels abbreviated in the movie. Read more

Icing on the Cake
The book is good, and the bookumentary is just icing on the cake. By which I mean it is sweet, flashy, and if you're not careful, gets everywhere.

This is your life.
If life is a tilt-a-whirl, when it flips you, what are you holding on to? Faith.
Too many people talk about faith like it's easy. But it's not. Read more
