    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. Luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, and James McNeill Whistler come under the author's scrutiny, where they meet with equal measures of his characteristic wisdom and good humor.In addition to incisive assessments of well-known individuals ("Mr. Rudyard Kipling and Making the World Small" and "Mr. H. G. Wells and the Giants"), these essays contain observations on the wider world. "On Sandals and Simplicity," "Science and the Savages," "On Certain Modern Writers and the Institution of the Family," "On Smart Novelists and the Smart Set," and "Slum Novelists and the Slums" reflect the main themes of Chesterton's life's work. Heretics roused the ire of some critics for censuring contemporary philosophies without providing alternatives; the author responded a few years later with a companion volume, Orthodoxy. Sardonic, jolly, and generous, both books are vintage Chesterton.He is criticizing 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.

    Mild frustration quickly turns to anger. Sadness becomes despair. Disappointment deepens into bitterness. You may begin to wonder if you control your feelings or if they control you!Amy Baker explains that our emotions don't have to run our lives. Instead, our emotions can reflect God's character even in our broken world. Through discussing how Jesus expressed his emotions and working through practical examples of real-life struggles, she shares how the gospel offers new handling your emotions productively and reshapes the desires and interpretations that fuel your feelings.

    It presents, briefly, and without any attempt at systematic development, a well-known point of view, one which, though often ignored, helps vastly in the search for truth. It is really an attempt to answer the questions, What is science? How does the Church view science? and is therefore a general introduction to the more picturesque and perhaps more interesting analyses of current scientific doctrine. The youth of our day, in their approach to knowledge, are thinking for themselves. For that let us be grateful. And may they think straight, so that truth may not pass them by unrecognized!

    Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ... consequence of not reflecting upon it, is, that there is continually an influx of somewhat from within, which receives those things that thus enter and are insinuated from without, and arranges them in order; that which enters by influx, and which thus receives and arranges, is celestial Divine Good, which is from the Lord, hence the things received from without have their life, hence they have their order. and hence, as was said, they have their consanguinities and affinities with each other; from this it may appear, that man's rational principle is from celestial Divine Good as a father, according to what is said in this verse, 'She is the daughter of my father." In respect to the other arcanum, viz., that the rational principle is not conceived of spiritual truth as a mother, it may appear from what was said above, n. 1902; tor if spiritual truth, like celestial good, entered by influx from within, then man would be born to a complete and perfect rational principle, and at the same time to a complete and perfect scientific principle, so that he would have no occasion to learn any thing; but whereas the nature of man is such, that he is hereditarily in all evil, and consequently in every false principle, and thus that he would adulterate and profane essential truths, if they also entered by influx from within, and would thereby perish eternally, therefore it is provided of the Lord, that nothing of truth enters by influx through man's internal, but only through his external; hence it may appear that man's rational principle is not from spiritual truth as a mother, according to what is said in this verse, " Nevertheless she is not the daughter of my mother." According to like order it pleased the Lord that His rational principle also...
