- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5C.S. Lewis recommended this book more than any other.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Chesterton had a gift to say in 15 words that which could be said with 3, and yet he is worth reading for the nuggets buried in those words.
This is a good book whose ideas apply today as they did in 1925. I also like how Chesterton connects the dots between the first and second half of the book, particularly in the first chapter of the second part.
If you are struggling to get through the first part as I was, stick with it because it will all make sense in the second part. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you like CS Lewis and Mere Christianity, you will love this book. It is wise and witty, eloquently expressed, and timeless. It debunks ideas that are still popular, that humans are just animals and that Jesus was just a man. Chesterton shows how silly these statements are. Even the author of the recent bestseller Sapiens marveled at the "cognitive revolution" made us suddenly different from the Neanderthals who had larger brains. It is a miracle that we are so different from the animals for good and ill. Regarding Jesus as merely a wise teacher is even foolish. Can you say you are God, the creator and judge of all and calmly sure for that belief and be safe if it isn't true? Do insane people preach the Sermon on the Mount?
