About this listen

Orthodoxy was named as one of Publishers Weekly’s 10 indispensable spiritual classics of the past 1500 years. It is the personal journal of one man’s search for understanding culminating in his conversion to Catholicism. Written with wisdom and wit, G.K. Chesterton captures the very nature of faith.

Chesterton's quasi apologetic is as relevant and revelatory today as ever. In a milieu of disenchantment, disbelief and spiritual hedonism, Chesterton manages to whimsically yet poignantly wave it all away with his single greatest weapon, common sense. As a prelude to "The Everlasting Man", Orthodoxy serves as a great introduction to anyone of any faith who wants to break out of the confines of modern, claustrophobic philosophies spouting fatalism, determinism, materialism,agnosticism or any other ism, and find the joy of living in fairyland

Chesterton at his level headed best <br />

I liked all of JK Chesterton"s books that I've read so far. I greatly enjoyed the Everlasting Man. The Heretics were a superb philosophical and intellectual romp! But this one, especially read by this particular narrator, is my favorite, to the very last word, which gave me lasting goosebumps.

Phenomenal, my favorite Chesterton book
