Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

"Eternal Destinies: What Happens When I Die?"

"'Is there life after death?' That question has fascinated people in every generation, hasn’t it? If you wonder whether contemporary culture is any exception, all you need to do is remember the television show “Highway to Heaven” and the movie “Ghost.” Personally, I never watched the television show, and I never saw the movie. Why not? Because I know the answer to the question, “Is there life after death?” The Bible says, without hesitation, 'Yes.'”
