Common Sense 101
Author: Dale Ahlquist
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1586171399
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Dale Ahlquist, the President of the American Chesterton Society, and author of G. K. Chesterton -The Apostle of Common Sense, presents a book of wonderful insights on how to look at the whole world through the eyes of Chesterton. Since, as he says, Chesterton wrote about everything, there is an ocean of his material to benefit from GKC's insights on a kaleidoscope of many important topics. Chesterton wrote a hundred books on a variety of themes, thousands of essays for London newspapers, penned epic poetry, delighted in detective fiction, drew illustrations, and made everyone laugh by his keen humor. Everyone who knew Chesterton loved him, even those he debated with. His unique writing style that combines philosophy, spirituality, history, humor, and paradox have made him one of the most widely read authors of modern times. As Ahlquist shows in his engaging volume, this most quoted writer of the 20th century has much to share with us on topics covering politics, art, education, wonder, marriage, fads, poetry, faith, charity and much more.

The Book of Job
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849677494
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
The Book of Job is among the other Old Testament Books both a philosophical riddle and a historical riddle. Controversy has long raged about which parts of this epic belong to its original scheme and which are interpolations of considerably later date. The doctors disagree, as it is the business of doctors to do; but upon the whole the trend of investigation has always been in the direction of maintaining that the parts interpolated, if any, were the prose prologue and epilogue and possibly the speech of the young man who comes in with an apology at the end. This work contains Chesterton's assumptions and thoughts on this mysterious scripture.

Alarms and Discursions
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849677664
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
If Mr. Chesterton had been permitted to have his own way this handful of papers would have been sent out under the title of "Gargoyles." Perhaps the publisher foresaw horror upon the faces of really unimaginative readers when once brought face to face with a "monster" title; so it was changed to "Alarms and discursions," as indefinite and capable of possibilities as one could wish. "Fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impressions," Mr. Chesterton calls his essays. "This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters . . . does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires." Forty essays, in which excellent common sense and brilliantly phrased wisdom mingle with sheer nonsense.

Divine Comedy
Author: Philip Krill
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
If, as Chesterton says, ‘angels can fly because they take themselves lightly,’ then it behooves us to ‘lighten up’ if we wish to come close to God. No one ever entered God’s Presence taking themselves more seriously than the One who beckons them forward. The kingdom of God is a Paradise of peace and joy. Funeral faces are not permitted. Question: Where do we find God? Answer: Wherever one person is fully present to another. Presence creates a mystical space in which angels delight and where the Spirit descends. Presence is a mystery of unrestricted openness filled with heavenly light. No one can abide in Presence and not be suffused with a joy that comes directly from God. This book is an invitation to laugh your way into Presence. My prayer is that, dipping into this book, you will lighten up and fly with the angels into the joyful Presence of God.
