Thanks for sharing. I did not know that and I did not grow up with much Christian influence (or any), but what this man writes is how I felt like for a long time deep inside. It resonates with me very much.


He's written some fantastic books. Worth a read, imo. He's my favorite author.


While I was wrestling with personal greed with the crypto mania as a laymen (and I try not to write the whole thing off as bad), his writings were very helpful to get me to see what was drawing me in and what also wasn't sitting well with me about the mass hysteria around it.


His fiction as well. The Father Brown stories are better known now because there was a recent TV series but they really did no convey a lot of what was in the books (I only saw an episode or two).

Oddly enough, the fiction is more a product of its time and feels more dated to me than the journalism and serious writing of his I have read.


"The Man Who Was Thursday" still works, i found -- which is kind of a surprise!
