 General Description:

This is a collection of G. K. Chesterton's provocative writings on a subject close to his heart-the family, and the corresponding themes of men and women, children, sex, marriage and divorce. The family was a central element in Chesterton's vision, a unifying theme of his literary work. His eloquent defense of the sacredness of the home is even more applicable in our times because of the tremendous moral problems in our society that threaten the modern family. Chesterton's insights will be a deep inspiration to married couples, those preparing for marriage, priests, teachers, and anyone else interested in marriage and the family.

"This is one of those absolutely necessary books. No one had such bracing no-nonsense practical wisdom as Chesterton. Now this book brings together the embattled family and GKC, the knight who rides forth to do battle for it. It should serve as a manual for us to turn the tide and restore ancient sanities."
- Peter Kreeft, Author, Three Philosophies of Life

"There is something providential in the way G. K. Chesterton has returned to speak to us of great realities that matter. With prophetic insight he meets the threats to the family, which have increased so much since his era. This book is essential reading, not only for all who work to build up family life but for those who want to rediscover the treasure hidden in that small word which Chesterton loved-"home".
- Cardinal Edouard Gagnon, President, Pontifical Council for the Family

Fr. Alvaro de Silva received doctorates in Education and Theology from the University of Navarre. A contributing editor for Nuestro Tiempo, he currently lives in Boston.
