Imagine having the brilliant journalist and prolific Christian
author G.K. Chesterton as your daily jogging partner. This is
precisely what Robert Moore-Jumonville did for over twelve years -
he read LOTS of Chesterton's books and, during his daily jogging
routine, reflected on them. The resulting essays appeared in
Gilbert magazine, the monthly publication of the American G.K.
Chesterton Society. JOGGING WITH G.K. CHESTERTON is a showcase for
the merry mind of Chesterton. But Chesterton's lighthearted wit
always runs side-by-side with his weighty wisdom. These 65
"earthshaking expeditions" will keep you smiling and thinking from
start to finish. You'll be entertained, challenged, and spiritually
uplifted as you take time to breathe the crisp morning air and
contemplate the wonders of the world. "This is a delightfully
improbable book in which Chesterton puts us through our spiritual
and intellectual exercises with mind-jogging and body-jiggling
brilliance. It will leave you breathless with the exhilaration and
exhaustion of the Chestertonian chase." Joseph Pearce Author of
Wisdom and Innocence: A Life of G.K. Chesterton "G.K. Chesterton is
one of the giants of the Christian intellectual tradition. If you
want to learn about him, or learn more than you now know, I
heartily recommend JOGGING WITH G.K. CHESTERTON. It will delight,
entertain, instruct and challenge you." Richard J. Foster Author
Celebration of Discipline and Sanctuary of the Soul Robert
Moore-Jumonville is Professor of Christian Spirituality at Spring
Arbor University in Michigan and the pastor of Pope United
Methodist Church. He is the author of Hermeneutics of Historical
Distance and co-authored (with Thom Slatterlee) two books of
selected readings from G.K. Chesterton.
Frances Chesterton, wife of British journalist G.K. Chesterton, was
a gentle poet and playwright. Her sweet works long lay in
obscurity, except for a few Christmas lyrics, which have never gone
out of print. Her plays for children were in demand when she wrote
them; there is a demand for them again today. Her poems and plays
reveal a woman of deep thought, a spiritual woman, a woman longing
for Christ, and especially drawn to Him at the Nativity, when He
was a small baby. To read these works is to understand better G.K.
Chesterton's wife and spiritual companion. And so, these works are
offered back to a world that has almost forgotten them. A revised
edition (1/2013) adds three important features: an index to the
entire work, plus an index to the poem titles; and in addition to
that, an index to the first lines of the poems. Many small
corrections were made to the text to improve readability.
