"""A beautiful and deeply personal exploration of the meaning of the circle and the cross, bringing together the message of Christianity with one of hope for those engaged with the crisis of our mother earth."" --Iain McGilchrist, author of The Master and His Emissary ""This is a wonderful, beautifully written book about 'Life, the Universe, and Everything' (as the fictional Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy once called it). As Loren Wilkinson himself opines (quoting Lewis), '""Everything"" is a subject on which there is not much to be said.' In this book he manages nevertheless to say a considerable amount about it--discourse that is rich, suggestive, and inspiring, providing a substantial outline of a Christocentric Theory of Everything."" --Iain Provan, founder, The Cuckoos Consultancy ""Loren Wilkinson is a capacious thinker, exploring the immensity and complexity of the cosmos and the human role in it, while digging down deep to the roots of his Christian faith. This book is the fruit of a lifetime of honest reflection, teaching, and (more importantly) living an incarnational, cross-shaped, hope-filled life in the midst of a cosmos of pain and beauty."" --J. Richard Middleton, professor of biblical worldview and exegesis, Northeastern Seminary ""This is a masterful book. Loren Wilkinson skillfully interweaves history, philosophy, science, poetry, and theology with a deeply personal story about lifelong discovery and care for the wonders around and within us. It manages to be both panoramic in scope while remaining deeply grounded in the particulars of place and of a Christian imagination. I will return to this book again and again and encourage others to do the same."" --Bethany Sollereder, lecturer in science and religion, University of Edinburgh ""This book is superb. Rooted in a careful reading of the Bible and a deep understanding of the Christian tradition and informed by a lifetime of living the gospel on Galiano Island, this beautifully written book is full of insight and wisdom. Ranging widely from ancient philosophy to contemporary neuroscience, the book dives deeply into the mysteries of cosmos, human consciousness, and Christ. Truly a gem. Take up and read."" --Steven Bouma-Prediger, professor of reformed theology, Hope College ""Pondering 'Why is there anything and why are we aware of it?' Loren Wilkinson brings to bear a lifetime of thought and an astonishing breath of knowledge on a journey from the origin of the cosmos to our life-friendly but wounded planet. Beyond an enlightenment mindset, he glories in wonder and gratitude for gifts of a loving God, self-sacrificed on the cross, as the source of worship, science, and art. This book is a classic."" --Micheal O'Siadhail, author of The Five Quintets"
