Just got back from Borders, clinching one of the books I've been looking for almost a year. Orthodoxy, the book by G.K. Chesterton, who in turned influenced people and thinkers like Mahatma Gandhi and C.S. Lewis among the others. The repeated hearing of Ravi Zacharias' audio CDs convinced me to look and read for myself, what the modern fathers of Christian Apologetics wrote and thought about.
Oh yeah, got the compilation of C.S. Lewis' writings. Looking forward to get his other book, 4 loves. Do let me know if you're interested to borrow them ;) Now, yea, it's time to continue the exam preparations.
God Bless!
p/s: Yancey and Francis Schaeffer are good writers as well, though, you can't really find much books on apologetics in places like Salvation. MPH and Borders do offer a wider range.
hey ive got CS Lewis '4 Loves'! dun have to buy la..borrow fr me can adi la.
ReplyDeletemeowlisa : hmm, ;) haha, thanks!
ReplyDeletewoah! orthodoxy!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the electronic version of the book but haven't had the time to read it yet...
I guess electronic books just don't attract me as much as real ones that u can hold in your hands!
Great! I enjoy G. K. Chesterton's witty quotes like:
ReplyDelete"Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up." and...
""What we suffer from today is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed."
sojourner : Haha, who likes them more? I can pass you my copy around January if you're interested in it.
ReplyDeletethe hedonese : Hey, Ravi Zacharias kept mentioning dat quote ;) Secularism and the threat to Christianity or something like dat..
ya, bro! ravi has been quoting chesterton a lot... usually it is in the context of 'relativism' (wat is true for u may not be true for me) where we balk at 'drawing lines' or 'boundaries' without first asking 'why are they there in the first place?" and the common misunderstanding that somehow being humble and having convictions is impossible :)
