A Chesterton Calendar

Imagine a year unfolding one day at a time through the keen eye of a prolific essayist and poet. This audio collection arranges his most memorable passages into a calendar, offering a fresh snippet each morning—whether a sharp aphorism, a playful poem, or a brief sermon on faith and folly. The format lets listeners greet each date with the same delight as opening a new page of a personal diary.

Chesterton’s trademark paradoxes shine through, from his musings on courage as a love of life that embraces death to his witty critiques of sophistry and modern economics. Seasonal entries celebrate the moveable feasts, weaving verses about Epiphany, Christmas and other traditions with his characteristic blend of humor and reverence. The selections draw from newspapers, essays and unpublished poems, giving a panoramic view of his thought.
