Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) has been called “the ablest and most exuberant proponent of orthodox Christianity of his time.” One of the twentieth century’s most thoughtful authors, he greatly influenced countless Christian writers including C.S. Lewis and others. Described as one of 10 “indispensable spiritual classics” of the past 1500 years by Publishers Weekly, Chesterton’s Orthodoxy offers a unique explanation of the essentials of the Christian faith, and of his own journey from skepticism to belief.

A great collection of stories, prayers, and activities for young explorersThe Explorer Bible is a book which offers young children the opportunity to combine Bible reading and prayer with activities to reinforce what they have learned. The stories of Noah, Joseph, Moses and Elijah and stories of the life, teaching and miracles of Jesus are found together in this engaging book. Each section tells a story from the Bible in a clear, simple way surrounded by colorful pictures of the characters and action involved, and follows it up with several fun "Activities," a "Prayer," and "Something to Think About." "Activities" include word searches, spot the difference, join the dots, coloring, and picture matching, and provide children with meaningful tasks while learning more about Bible characters and their relationship with God. An example of "Something to Think About" from the story of Noah: "It is sometimes difficult to do the right thing. It's even harder when everyone else around you is doing something different and they laugh at you." An example of a "Prayer" from the story of Noah: "Help me, Lord God, to be brave enough to do what is good and right, even if others try to stop me."

G. K. Chesterton exposes the fallacies undergirding popular notions, particularly in the arts. An often overlooked book that contains some of Chesterton’s strongest writing, the author focuses on the era’s “heretics”: those who pride themselves on their superiority to conservative views, assessing such artists and writers as Kipling, Shaw, Wells, and Whistler with characteristic wisdom and good humor. Chesterton's confident and clever prose impressed and influenced later writers such as C.S. Lewis, whose readership will want to explore Chesterton's deft dismantling of the heresies of modern thought.
