Items related to Orthodoxy
In Orthodoxy, Gilbert K. Chesterton explains how and why he came to believe in Christianity. 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!

Review:
" Whenever I feel my faith going dry again, I wander to a shelf and pick up a book by G.K. Chesterton."
--from the foreword by Philip Yancey, author of "What's So Amazing About Grace?" and "The Jesus I Never Knew
"
" My favorite on the list İof top 100 spiritual classics of the twentieth century¨ is Chesterton's "Orthodoxy." It offers wonderful arguments for embracing religious traditions, but it also has humor you don't typically find in religious writing."
--Philip Zaleski, author and journalist
Named by "Publisher's Weekly" as one of 10 " indispensable spiritual classics" of the past 1500 years.
"--Publisher's Weekly
"" Chesterton's most enduring book.... Charming."
