THE EVERLASTING MAN
G. K. Chesterton. Considered by many to be Chesterton's greatest masterpiece of all his writings, this is his whole view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Beginning with the origin of man and the various religious attitudes throughout history, Chesterton shows how the fulfillment of all of man's desires takes place in the person of Christ and in Christ's Church. Chesterton propounds the thesis that “those who say that Christ stands side by side with similar myths, and his religion side by side with similar religions, are only repeating a very stale formula contradicted by a very striking fact.” And with all the brilliance and devastating irony, so characteristic of his best writing, Chesterton gleefully and tempestuously tears to shreds that “very stale formula” and triumphantly proclaims in vivid language the glory and unanswerable logic of that very striking fact. Here is the genius of Chesterton at its delightful best. Paperback - 276 pages.

ORTHODOXY
G. K. Chesterton. Among Chesterton's many works, Orthodoxy stands out as the most scintillating synthesis of his philosophy and deeply religious faith. In his inimitable, soaring prose, Chesterton tells of his earth-shaking discovery that orthodoxy is the only satisfactory answer to the mystery of life. Gilbert Keith Chesterton is one of the most celebrated and reverently esteemed figures in modern literature. He was a phenomenally prolific writer. The depth and range of his work are astounding. A model apologetic for today's readers. Paperback - 168 pages.

SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS AND SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI
G. K. Chesterton. Here are two biographies that many consider the best short portraits ever written of these saints. Saint Francis of Assisi is a Catholic work, explaining and illuminating the life of St. Francis in a way no other biography has. Saint Thomas Aquinas is enriched by Chesterton's unique abilty to see the world through the saint's eyes that brings the author of the Summa vividly to life. Not two lives are more interesting or more diverse than those of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas Aquinas. The two stand at almost the opposite sides of how to understand and live the same Christian life. The St. Francis book is especially siginficant today because it addresses itself on how to reform a corrupt culture, while the St. Thomas book is important because it addresses the problem of disordered minds. Chesterton makes philosophy intelligible and poverty rich. No two short books get at the heart of things better or in a more delightful manner. Paperback - 320 pages.
