The Secret Of Father Brown
by G. K. Chesterton
Kindle $0.49 Rating: 4.4 #ad
“I am not usually a reader of crime fiction, but I like G.K. Chesterton’s essays and biographies so I thought I’d give Father Brown a try. I loved this collection of stories and especially enjoyed that each is really a philosophical or theological discussion. But if you are not into philosophy don’t be scared off: These stories are beautifully written, witty, exquisitely plotted, and populated with intriguing characters.
One of Chesterton’s principal philosophical propositions is that while strict materialism is bound by its own definition to rule out all things supernatural, the supernatural is free to include scientific method in its worldview. The quiet unassuming Father Brown, with his combination of sharp observation and incisive knowledge of human depravity, is the fictional personification of this idea, his answer to Sherlock Holmes.” by Amazon Customer

Great for readers who enjoy the poetic introspection of Yung Pueblo, the spiritual musings of Ram Dass, the timeless wisdom of Alan Watts and the raw self-inquiry of Rupi Kaur, love, light & other beautiful lies is a journey through transformation—woven in verse, memory, and the flickering light of truth.
