Chesterton’s No-Holds-Barred Critique of Man-Centered Philosophy!“We direly need another Chesterton today. … In a time when culture and faith have drifted even further apart, we could use his brilliance, his entertaining style, and above all his generous and joyful spirit.” author Philip Yancey.The companion to G.K. Chesterton’s classic Christian book, Orthodoxy.What if abook published in 1905 held the key to understanding today’s debates about God, atheism, relativism and philosophy?Are you confused (and perhaps challenged) by the philosophical and religious debates of our time?Do you need help knowing how to discuss religion and philosophy with your nextdoor neighbor?Do you want to better understand the world’s beliefs through the wit and wisdom of one of Christianity’s greatest writers?G.K. Chesterton’s Heretics is for anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of philosophy while staying grounded in God’s Word. G.K. Chesterton wrote Heretics in the early 1900s to address what he considered the heresies of his day, but it soon was overshadowed by his follow-up classic book, Orthodoxy (1908). Chesterton, though, considered the two books companion pieces.Heretics is as relevant today as it was a century ago.In Heretics, Chesterton:Confronts the heresies of his day with his trademark no-holding-back wit: “In former days the heretic was proud of not being a heretic,” he writes, asserting that “heresy” was no longer taboo. “All this can mean one thing, and one thing only. It means that people care less for whether they are philosophically right. For obviously a man ought to confess himself crazy before he confesses himself heretical.”Critiques, by name, the heretics of his day. Among them: H.G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, and Lowes Dickinson. Wells believed “that there are no secure and reliable ideas upon which we can rest.” Shaw taught that the “golden rule is that there is no golden rule.” Dickinson was a “provocative” supporter of paganism. Chesterton wrote, “The most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the universe.”Explains his belief in Christianity, in typical Chesterton style. “All the empires and the kingdoms [of the world] have failed, because … they were founded by strong men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.”Chesterton refutes relativism, rationalism, paganism and other man-centered philosophies that were popular during his day -- philosophies that may be even more trendy and prominent in our modern world.Scroll up to buy and find out why C.S. Lewis himself called Chesterton one of the greatest apologists of his time!

A WILD, MAD, HILARIOUS AND PROFOUNDLY MOVING TALE. It is very difficult to classify "The Man Who Was Thursday." It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author of the Father Brown stories should tell a detective story like no-one else. On this level, therefore, "The Man Who Was Thursday" succeeds superbly; if nothing else, it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton's wonderful high-spirited style, he will soon see that he is being carried into much deeper waters than he had planned on; and the totally unforeseeable denouement will prove for the modern reader, as it has for thousands of others since 1908 when the book was first published, an inevitable and moving experience, as the investigators finally discover who Sunday is.

The classic British detective story that became the immortal Hitchcock film starring James Stewart—from the author of the Father Brown mysteries. Horne Fisher is a skilled detective who always finds his man, but every solution comes with a catch: Exposing the crime will make things worse.

In this collection, Fisher uses his special skill to get to the bottom of mysteries as diverse as the disappearance of a valuable coin, the framing of an Irish prince, and the death of his own uncle from a falling statue. The Man Who Knew Too Much is a shining example of author G. K. Chesterton’s prodigious wit and prescient observation.

The Napoleon of Notting Hill is set in a nearly unchanged London in 1984. Although the novel is set in the future, it is, in effect, set in an alternative reality of Chesterton's own period, with no advances in technology or changes in the class system or attitudes. It postulates an impersonal government, not described in any detail, but apparently content to operate through a figurehead king, randomly chosen. The dreary succession of randomly selected Kings of England is broken up when Auberon Quin, who cares for nothing but a good joke, is chosen. To amuse himself, he institutes elaborate costumes for the provosts of the districts of London. All are bored by the King's antics except for one earnest young man who takes the cry for regional pride seriously – Adam Wayne, the eponymous Napoleon of Notting Hill.
