Part spiritual autobiography, part apologetics, G.K. Chesterton's 1908 account of his conversion is now a Christian classic. Just like he does in his Father Brown mysteries, Chesterton writes about his journey of faith with wit, a raconteur's charm, and a razor-sharp intellect, undermining casual assumptions and lazy speculations in a relentless search for truth and meaning: "Thoroughly worldly people never understand even the world; they rely altogether on a few cynical maxims which are not true."
