G. K. Chesterton Collection - Recommend?

I am a non-seminary trained Pastor. I have only read some of Chesterton's quotes, which have intrigued me, but have never read a entire book from him.

I am interested in opinions from my Logos family. Do you think this is worth the coins?

Also, will this be available on the iPhone app? I tend to use my desktop for study and research, and the app for reading books that are meant to be read through from beginning to end.

Interested in opinions from any camp...

Hi Jerry,

Here's my .02 as I have ordered the resource.

I have read Chesterton for awhile now, while I personally find his writing style a little difficult to read, it's that way in part because of his wonderful use of literary style to get a point across (plus time and venue, of course). He used reason and philosophy a lot in his faith discussions, and what I like is it seems he fought a lot of the prevailing opinions in the secular world that we face today. His books are considered classics in Christianity, and in addition you'll get some good morsels for sermons!

Chesterton was a big friend of J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings. Chesterton's writings were tremendously influential on C.S. Lewis, by his own admission.

I just feel I can learn a lot from the thoughts of the day of this crowd.

Hope that helps!
