“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” – St. Augustine
Because I’ve built up a large collection of duplicate books and resources, each week I’m giving away one or more of these items, absolutely free, no strings attached.
You can enter anytime during each week for that week’s giveaway, with a new giveaway beginning each Friday. To see a list of past giveaways, go here.
This week’s giveaway is a copy of Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith, the witty, quirky, rollicking book by G.K. Chesterton. Fr. Robert Barron counts Orthodoxy as one of the five books every Christian should read, and Chesterton’s classic is also featured in the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan:
“If G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith is, as he called it, a “slovenly autobiography,” then we need more slobs in the world….Chesterton argues that people in western society need a life of “practical romance, the combination of something that is strange with something that is secure. We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome.”….It’s hard to imagine a reader who will not close the book believing, at least for the moment, that the Church will make you free.”
In order to win this week’s giveaway, leave a comment below answering this question:
What’s your favorite G.K. Chesterton quote? (Don’t be afraid to Google!)
The winning comment will be randomly selected on Friday morning using a random number generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.
In the future I’ll be giving away many more books and resources–sometimes multiple items per giveaway. So check back next Friday!
Update: The drawing is closed for the week of Friday, October 14. Congratulations to TheCatholicGiftShop for winning this week! Check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. If you don’t see an e-mail from me, check your spam box–apparently e-mails with “giveaway” in the subject line often end up there.
