Here are G. K. Chesterton's most influential non-fiction books
collected here in one binding. In Orthodoxy, Gilbert K. Chesterton
explains how and why he came to believe in Christianity and more
specifically the Catholic Church's brand of orthodoxy. In the book,
Chesterton takes the spiritually curious reader on an intellectual
quest. While looking for the meaning of life, he finds truth that
uniquely fulfills human needs. This is the truth revealed in
Christianity. Chesterton likens this discovery to a man setting off
from the south coast of England, journeying for many days, only to
arrive at Brighton, the point he originally left from. Such a man, he
proposes, would see the wondrous place he grew up in with newly
appreciative eyes. This is a common theme in Chesterton's works, and
one which he gave fictional embodiment to in Manalive. A truly lively
and enlightening book! In What's Wrong With The World Chesterton
rightly points out that what people see as "wrong with the world" are
only the symptoms of a deeper problem. He shows that our governments,
be they capitalistic or socialistic, also fail to see the deeper
problem. With a keen wit and lively prose he cuts directly to the true
problems that society must deal with and his solutions feel utterly
correct. In Heretics, Gilbert K. Chesterton rails against what he sees
as wrong with society. He points out how society has gone astray and
how life and spiritually could be brought back into focus.
