[Read by Robertson Dean]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 cultural accomplishments. A giant of his time, Chesterton continues to live large in the imaginations of twenty-first-century readers.

Hero for Humanity: A Biography of William Wilberforce

Navpress Pub Group

William Wilberforce 1759-1833 led the twenty-year fight to abolish the British slave trade. He championed medical aid for the poor, prison rehabilitation, education for the deaf and restrictions on child labour. Wilberforce found nothing more effectual than private prayer, and the serious perusal of the New Testament. He maintained: All may be done through prayer, almighty prayer. He insisted that in the calmness of the morning, before the mind is heated and wearied by the turmoil of the day, you have a season of unusual importance for communing with God and with yourself. He seized upon such opportunities, believing: God will prosper me better if I wait on him. 365 Days with Wilberforce is a collection unlike any other. Drawing directly from Wilberforces writings, the selections in this book illustrate how God sustained and guided him. Those who seek to walk their pilgrims progress aright will find much to ponder, pray over and treasure.
