Dr. Brian Nixon said, “There are amazing works, for example, in classical music and jazz that have a level of excellence, a level of truth to them, that make them in some respects more Christian than just planting the name Jesus on a lyric.

In Tilt: Finding Christ in Culture, Brian Nixon takes the reader on a voyage of discovery, traveling the currents of God’s presence in culture, summed up in four streams that define a noun: people, places, things, and ideas.
