We need a new kind of mystic, writes Fr. Robert Wild; and in The
Tumbler of God, he presents a spiritual portrait of G.K. Chesterton
that convincingly shows why he is precisely the kind of new mystic
we need. Chesterton s mysticism was grounded in an experiential
knowledge that existence is a gift from God, and that the only
response is a spirituality of gratitude and praise for the unveiled
beauty of creation. "What was his secret ? It was to love the
splendor of the real, and to live in adulthood the innocence and
wonder of the child who sees everything for the first time. The
Gospel tells us we must become again like little children in order
to enter the kingdom. Chesterton shows us how.
