Synopsis

"This world of ours has some purpose; and if there is a purpose, there is a Person. I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story, there is a Storyteller."--G. K. ChestertonDuring Chesterton's lifetime, a host of perspectives clamored for his attention, but he saw nothing as vital and alive as Christianity. A Year with G. K. Chesterton, a daily devotional dedicated to the life and legacy of G. K. Chesterton, brings this truth into a brand new light.A true anthology, A Year with G. K. Chesterton compiles the best of Chesterton's many works and presents them in concise, memorable selections. From New Year's Day to New Year's Eve, each daily entry will guide you through:A timeless verse from ScriptureA thoughtful passage from G. K. Chesterton’s incredible body of workA moment for reflection and appreciationPraise for A Year with G. K. Chesterton: "Chesterton once a day? Well, that's a start. It is good to see that someone is finally recognizing the need for a daily minimum requirement of mirth and meditation from GKC."--Dale Ahlquist, President, American Chesterton Society"Who could not be grateful for a year spent with GKC? The great subverter of everything taken for granted, he stretches and deepens us with his insights, shakes us with his startling paradoxes and delights us with his wit. Thank God there is no getting to the end of Chesterton."--Os Guinness, author of A Free People's Suicide

You can read my full review at Quieted Waters. Certain types of books are always difficult to review: study Bibles, commentaries, and how-to books are all on that list for me. So, too, are year-long readers. Whether they be devotionals or selected excerpts from a famous author, books that require 365......more

Goodreads review by Mike

I love Chesterton's writings. He's witty and make me chuckle quite often. This book is a loose collection of snippets from many of his articles and books. There are a couple of readings selected for each day (the book is structured as a daily reading book) along with small biographical note with det......more
