A Clear, Easy-to-Read Translation of G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy
G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy is the first Modern Saints release for a reason. This whimsical defense of the faith is widely considered a top-ten Christian book of all time and is as relevant now as the day it was written. If you are a fan of C.S. Lewis (or just a fan of good books), you will love this modern, vibrant take on a pop-philosophy classic.
“I’ve read this version twice and enjoyed it both times. When I read it originally it felt like reading Mandarin, but this version is like you knew Mandarin and translated it.”
– Allen Harrell, Book Reviewer
