Common Sense 101: Lessons From G. K. Chesterton

Dale Ahlquist, the president of the American Chesterton Society and author of G. K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense, teaches us in this book how to "look at the whole world through the eyes of Chesterton". Since, as he says, "Chesterton wrote about everything", there is much to learn from the versatile and prolific Englishman, who wrote numerous books on a variety of themes, hundreds of columns for London newspapers, epic poetry, ad detective fiction. His unique writing style that combines philosophy, spirituality, history, humor, and paradox have made him one of the most widely read authors of modern times.

As Ahquist shows in his engaging volume, this most quoted writer of the twentieth century has much to share with us on topics covering politics, art, education, wonder, marriage, fads, poetry, faith, charity, and much more.
