God of All Things audiobook

Magnificent. The ordinary things of God point to the extraordinary God of things. (Pairs nicely with Joe Rigney’s book “Strangely Bright.”)

I loved this book. Love, love, loved it. If you want to drink deep biblical theology—seeing the entire Bible’s themes and meanings intersect around a gospel whole—you cannot find a more accessible, enjoyable, and enchanted book than this one. I read this as a devotional, though it isn’t technically one. It will make you see reality from heaven’s point of view.

4.9 Stars - Top Reads of 2022"God of All Things" by Andrew Wilson is a Christian devotion book that extols God through the "things" He has created. This is a book about the "things" of this world, and how they ultimately point to God and show us more about Him. Wilson focuses on 15 "things" from the Old Testament, and 15 from the New. Thus, Wilson's book is a gloriously Biblical-based exposition on how God uses “things” to reveal more of Himself.This book was probably my favorite Christian devotional that I have read this year. The 30 "things" that Wilson exposits such as honey, donkeys, the sun, earthquakes, wine, and bread are easy to digest and read once per day. As well, they are incredibly gospel-centered and Biblically-based. Each thing helped me not only to see how wonderfully God has created this world but how wonderful my God is! I found myself in tears in several chapters just wondering about Christ's humility that he rode on a donkey or that God's beauty is like honey. This was simply a marvelous book.So, I don't have much more to add that every Christian should read this book. Our hearts are too prone to forget God, and this book reminded me that the beauty of God is everywhere. God has hardwired his glory into creation and if we would listen to His Word, we would more clearly see that glory in all "things." I cannot recommend this book more highly!

A fun, thoughtful little book doing a 'theology of everything' - taking a range of everyday items and tracing their thematic links throughout the Bible. The chapters vary in strength but I loved the devotional and worshipful tone throughout.

I was originally going to give this four stars until a sleep-deprived-sitting-on-her-bedroom-floor-at-1am-Isabelle suddenly found herself getting teary-eyed during the beautiful chapter about flowers (part 2, chapter 19). And then keeping the audiobook for a couple extra days after finishing, just to listen to that short message again and again. And then absentmindedly letting it play on each time… I guess this was what my soul needed to hear. 5/5 crying emoji stars! Yay! First day: criesSecond day: wait, what part of this made me emotional last night? I don’t get itThird day: THIS IS PROFOUND

I am currently enjoying the delights of audio books, which mean I can redeem the time I have doing chores around the house and driving around on errands now all three kids are at school. This has led to me "reading" a lot more, (although it has also given me an appetite for sitting down with a book, so some of my reads are true reads!!) The downside of audio books is that sometimes my mind wanders and I don't take in the content as well as I might if I were holding the pages in my hand... However it is easy to hit repeat and have the narrator read the chapter a second or third time!!All that said... Regarding this particular book...Having heard Andrew Wilson speak several times and listened to some of his sermons, I was quick to add this to my "to read" list. It does not disappoint.The study of biblical theology (themes, or in this case created things, that are repeated throughout scripture) is fairly new to me and this book is a great place to start for someone wanting to study the Bible in this way. It is fascinating the topics that the author picked, some more obvious (bread, salt, water) and others less so (pigs, horns, honey!) And it is even more fascinating how God weaves these throughout his word from Genesis to Revelation. The book is easy to read and the some of the imagery used to illustrate the chapters, for example the 5 peaks of the 3rd highest mountain in the world, is mind blowing.I feel with a second read/listen, sitting down with my bible in my hands, there would be so much more to get out of this book and out of the bible.I will also be looking out for recommendations of other Andrew Wilson books!

Excellent book to read in small bits. Everyday things and earthly phenomena are examined under the lens of Scripture. Their meaning is tied to their creator. I especially enjoyed the authors ability to see signposts to Jesus and tie together biblical themes as they lead our imaginations to Christ. Highly recommended!

Full of wonder at a wonderful God.

I wake up in the morning, before or after the sun rises (depending on the season), eat some Weetabix with honey on top with fruit squash, sit in the garden to look at the flowers, hear the birds, feel the wind. I’ve already experienced six things that point me to God — the one who made them all to express his love and creativity and who wants me to enjoy him through them!This book has helped to unlock the everyday, mundane things of life to see God in all things — because he is the God of all things. It’s one of my favourite ever books and has helped me through a tough time to remind me that God is everywhere and he is good!

This book!!!! Got get this book! 30 short chapters on key words from the Bible. Perfect for devotions perfect for Bible teachers and perfect for a commentary assist! Great book! Loved this!

Wonderful read filled with simple but profound truths

A delightful consideration of how God speaks in the everyday things. A favorite quote is “In Christ, pigs become bacon. It is the welcome of God.”

Absolutely superb.Accessible, 30 v short chapters helping as see connections across the scriptures.Made me think of the IVP dictionary of biblical imagery, but far shorter and beautifully written.One of the best books I have read in a long time.
