Overview

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.
