Inspired by the wisdom and wonder of writers like Wendell Berry, James McBride, and Marilynne Robinson, All Swirling and Weaving models how reading fiction can help us see the variety of ways God is at work in our own stories. Reading slows us down. It invites us to pay attention to the details of life. And a life of faith only happens in the details. With humor, vulnerability, and a pastoral heart, Douglas Basler weaves together the fruit of reading twelve contemporary novels with Biblical reflection and experiences from his own life and ministry.Douglas Basler is a Presbyterian pastor in Des Moines, Iowa. He holds a doctor of ministry in the Sacred Art of Writing from The Eugene Peterson Center for Christian Imagination at Western Theological Seminary and an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell. He has written for Leadership Journal, Ekstasis Magazine, The Presbyterian Outlook, and The Rabbit Room. Doug and his wife, Katie, have three children and a big fluffy Goldendoodle named Wrigley.
