GK Chesterton, a writer and thinker of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s is one of my consistent favorites. His “friendly enemy”, George Barnard Shaw (someone else I highly respect) called him “a man of colossal genius.” Couldn’t agree more. Let these words burrow into your soul as I hope they burrow into mine. Thanks to a good and hopefully growing friend of mine, Winn Collier, for reminding me of them.
I do not deny that the world needs priests to remind us that we shall all one day die; but I insist that the world also needs another kind of priest, the poet, to remind us that we are not dead yet.
GK Chesterton
“In a time such as ours we face a great dilemma. On the one hand it seems we and the world need God all the more, and on the other, that the God we need might not be up to the task. Jim Pace provides a thoughtful and honest look at the tension that so many of the people that I know (including myself) often face. Steeped in his own story of doubt, disbelief, and tragedy this book is a refreshing look at this apparent impasse.”
