Common Sense 101: Lessons from G.K. Chesterton

Dale Ahlquist is president of the American Chesterton Society, and his book Common Sense 101 is a well-organized summary of G.K. Chesterton's personal philosophy on a wide range of subjects: religion, history, art, marriage, education, and much more. Ahlquist wisely lets Chesterton's voice shine through with unbroken quotes from the Prince himself and minimal editorial intrusions. As a result, it is an excellent and digestible introduction to Chesterton's views.
