I mean it was C. S. Lewis who said: "for me a book is of no use if I don't read it at least two or three times".
Well, I only can agree to the uttermost with Lewis.
Particularly "the everlasting man" by G. K. Chesterton is a classic candidate for rereading it several times....
The book himself enjoys a classic status. Here Chesterton displays masterfully his keen, winning and engaging wit, and tantalizes us trough his amazing and eloquent gift as one of the best Christians apologetics writer ever!!
"The everlasting Man" will left you behind with an huge amount of information and data, but it also will provide and open for you conclusions and inferences you would never have seen without it.
In his book Chesterton analyses and compare the history of mankind as told by the so called scientist, versus the Christian perspective about creation and the unfolding of men....
Friends, I love this book!!!
The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars, exist only in not having enough capacity to grasp its richness by reading it only one time.
But, I tell you something, what I have been able to grasp is amazing.
A rewarding reading experience full of insights awaits you!!!
Fluently and gripping written it will not disappoint.
Recommendation not only for believers, but for all who thirst for the truth and reality.....

booklady Okay, okay... Need to put Chesterton on my list as an author to 'get-back-to'! Ha! Yes, we do begin to penetrate to the deepest levels when we reread and reread and reread, etc.! SO true!


Dean Yes, and again yes!!!
booklady,You're so right, and I agree fully with you....
Of course Chesterton is a win for every believer. He was a prolific and charismatic writer with the gift to persuade and enlighten!!
Some books should be read and reread again and again!!!
I count all C. S. Lewis books to bee such ones.
But Chesterton is in my eyes a class apart, which means rereading his books will enrich and lighten up enormously your understanding...
Have a great day, the Lord bless you so much, and thanks for your comment!!!
Appreciate it
Dean:)
