""A Year with G.K. Chesterton" will be a treasure, both for
those who are coming to his wit and wisdom as a fresh discovery,
and for those who have known and loved his work for years. . . .
Chesterton's talent for paradox, and his ability to embody profound
truth in simple images, makes him as compelling now as he was a
hundred years ago. . . . He was a prophet in his own time and a
prophet for ours, speaking out against insidious evils and kindling
us all again to a common love of the common good."
--The Reverend Dr. Malcolm Guite, chaplain of Girton College,
Cambridge University
"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. Chesterton
"A Year with G. K. Chesterton" daily brings this truth to life.
And we are heir to the winsome, arresting, utterly original
outpouring of Chesterton's reasons for hope. During his lifetime, a
host of perspectives clamored for his attention, but he saw nothing
as vital and alive as Christianity. Readers of this book will find
their faith strengthened and enriched, even as they see the many
reasons why George Bernard Shaw called Chesterton "a colossal
genius."
A true anthology, the best of Chesterton's many works are
presented in concise, memorable selections. From New Year's Day to
New Year's Eve, each page contains a passage of Scripture and
myriad moments for reflection, appreciation, and laughter.
"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
"Kevin Belmonte writes in the preface to this excellent book
that his editing of it has been a gift. As an author who has
written regularly on Chesterton I can understand his sense of
gratitude at having been able to spend so much time with a genius
as genial as the great GKC. Thanks to Belmonte's labor of love we
can all spend a few moments of every day of the year in
Chesterton's inimitable company. All admirers of Chesterton and the
Christian truth he explicates so sublimely will be grateful to
Kevin Belmonte for this gem of a gift."
--Joseph Pearce, author of "Wisdom and Innocence: A Life of G. K.
Chesterton"""
"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"
