March Giveaway- Defiant Joy: The Remarkable Life & Impact of G.K. Chesterton
This month we are giving away three copies of, Defiant Joy: The Remarkable Life & Impact of G.K. Chesterton. Here’s a description of the book:
You may be aware that G. K. Chesterton authored influential Christian biographies and apologetics. But you may not know the larger-than-life Gilbert Keith Chesterton himself-not yet. Equally versed in poetry, novels, literary criticism, and journalism, he addressed politics, culture, and religion with a towering intellect and a soaring wit.
Chesterton engaged his world through the written word. He carried on lively, public discussions with the social commentators of his day, continually challenging them with civility, humility, erudition, and his ever-sharp sense of humor. Today's reader can find the same treasures, for as Chesterton said, "What a man can believe depends upon his philosophy, not upon the clock or the century."
In Kevin Belmonte's fresh new biography, you'll get to know the real G. K. Chesterton and his literary and cultured accomplishments. A giant of his time, Chesterton continues to live large in the imaginations of twenty-first-century readers.
Simply leave a comment to this post and you’ll be eligible to be one of the three winners chosen at random at the end of the month. Be sure to include your e-mail address (kept non-public) when prompted so that we can notify you if you win. My apologies to our international visitors, but due to soaring postage costs, this contest is open to U.S. residents only.

Editor’s Top Picks for Learning Apologetics
You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. John 18:37 |
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 |

For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 |
One of my fave quotes

I have never read G.K. Chesterton although I have heard of him it seems forever. It is time I read his biography!
Posted by: Sara Nell Bible | 03/21/2012 at 12:23 PM
Chesterton might have considered being read on an electronic reader a kind of literary accomplishment. It also puts SA mere seconds away from the USA - please consider that!
Posted by: Santie L | 03/20/2012 at 01:37 PM
I concur with all the comments & would be blessed to receive such a copy. But regardless, even if I don't get one, blessings to those who do. GBY. Respectfully yours, doug

I've read some of the Father Brown books and delved into Orthodoxy. Would love to read Chesterton's biography.
