"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder," wrote Gilbert Keith Chesterton. He was an early 20th-century Catholic man for all seasons, who wrote in a variety of genres, including poetry, biography, fiction, even mysteries. He debated the foremost intellectuals of his day--H.G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Russell. In this book he is mentor and spiritual guide through the Lenten and Easter season.
