You may be aware that G. K. Chesterton authored influential
Christian biographies and apologetics. But you may not know the
larger-than-life Gilbert Keith Chesterton himself--not yet. Equally
versed in poetry, novels, literary criticism, and journalism, he
addressed politics, culture, and religion with a towering intellect
and a soaring wit.
Chesterton engaged his world through the written word. He
carried on lively, public discussions with the social commentators
of his day, continually challenging them with civility, humility,
erudition, and his ever-sharp sense of humor. Today's reader can
find the same treasures, for as Chesterton said, "What a man can
believe depends upon his philosophy, not upon the clock or the
century."
In Kevin Belmonte's fresh new biography, you'll get to know the
real G. K. Chesterton and his literary and cultured
accomplishments. A giant of his time, Chesterton continues to live
large in the imaginations of twenty-first-century readers.
Endorsements:
"Chesterton's explanation of Christianity makes absolute sense
of the world. He reminds us that, free of our comforting delusions,
reality is a tragic adventure in which we get to participate."
--DONALD MILLER, author of the "New York Times" bestsellers "A
Million Miles in a Thousand Years" and "Blue Like Jazz"
"Bravo to Kevin Belmonte for turning his caring attention to the
incomparably hilarious and brilliant genius that is G.K. Chesterton
" --ERIC METAXAS, "New York Times" best-selling author of
"Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy" and "Amazing Grace:
William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery"
"There's a great new biography about one of the Christian giants
of the 20th Century. And I mean that literally. To read Kevin
Belmonte's recent book "Defiant Joy: The Remarkable Life &
Impact of G. K. Chesterton," is to feel a powerful sense of longing
. . . because there is such a longing, a great need for advocates
like Chesterton in our day. . . . But let's be grateful we still
have the works of that great man to study and learn from. . . And
we also have for you have Belmonte's vibrant new biography -- a
wonderful reminder of the magnificent example Chesterton has set
for us."--CHUCK COLSON(http:
