About this listen
Few people had a more profound effect on Christianity in the 20th century than G. K. Chesterton. The Everlasting Man, written in response to an anti-Christian history of humans penned by H.G. Wells, is considered Chesterton’s masterpiece. In it, he explains Christ’s place in history, asserting that the Christian myth carries more weight than other mythologies for one simple reason—it is the truth.

Story
The book acts as a guide which explains how Christianity is the best choice for all human beings, not because it's outside of our world and an independent truth, but because it is the answer to our base needs and desires. Only when Christianity is seen as a way of life instead of a belief can the true power of the faith be realized.

Story
Chesterton's compilation of essays in Heretics discusses the difference in Orthodoxy and Heretics, rational vs. irrational, and denial vs. affirmation. He questions the reason for the existence of man and the universe and calls out many prominent figures in the artistic and literary fields for their unorthodox ideas; thus labeling them heretics. He will have you thinking of favorite authors like Rudyard Kipling, Oscar Wilde, and H.G. Wells in a new light, challenging their ideals and morals.

Story
Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself… Here you will find the complete Father Brown stories in the chronological order of their original publication. The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13.

Thought provoking, clever, and enduringly relevant
While this is no light reading (listening), it is nonetheless refreshing. Likewise, while it clearly reflects the time in which it was written, it addresses the foundations of humanity.

Author Believed himself Shakespeare
The readers ability is terrific. Fantastic delivery. I only just wish he’d been made use of by less a Christian fanatic than the author was himself. I was going to return Chesterton’s book after listening to only 30 minutes (or there abouts)…I persisted however and did finally make it through nearly the text in its entirety. No doubt a brilliant writer…but I fail to understand his rendering of Christ or Catholicism for that matter. I spent more than 20 years in Catholic education…as a student in the 70s and 80. I might even have found myself in considerable agreement with large segments of his thesis…however his élite erudition left me nearly outside the entire reading. A very bright person he clearly was. But an expositor on Catholicism?….no thanks. The author comes across as more arrogant and self absorbed than even Nietzsche managed to. I know these two had nothing else in common as far as their stance concerning official religion was concerned ; but as polemicists go….I find Nietzsche’s writing more authentic, sincere and fruitful. Chesterton leaves me with the sense that he loved only his own sentence structure: a glee man of sorts. I may be way off in my criticism..but this is how I have conceived of efforts. Like a Bertrand Russel of sorts….hardly capable of writing anything but for publication. Lots of brain into the matter…and only feigned heart.
