Book Review of The Catholic Church and Conversion

The Catholic Church and Conversion
reviewed on + 59 more book reviews


G.K. Chesterton-author, poet, playwright, essayist-writes with convincing authority of that most significant of human experiences: conversion.
The Church, writes Chesterton-himself a convert to Catholicism at the age of forty-eight- is a house of a hundred gates, and no two men enter at exactly the same angle; but all who do enter find peace and a home. With the keen with and intelligence that made him famous, Chesterton refutes conventional charges against the Church and describes the experiences and the barriers to be overcome that lie in the path of those who seek God.
