The Innocence Of Fr. Brown (CD)

Read by Kevin O'Brien

One of the most memorable sleuths in the canon of detective fiction has to be Father Brown, the small priest with “a face as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling”, but who nevertheless outwits the greatest criminal minds with his wisdom regarding human nature. Brought to life here by actor Kevin O’Brien in a series of dramatic readings, this unabridged audio book of The Innocence of Father Brown also features an introduction and conclusion to each chapter by Dale Ahlquist, president of the American Chesterton Society and host of EWTN’s immensely popular television series, G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense, (Part One and Part Two) .

First published in 1910, The Innocence of Father Brown includes many of the greatest Father Brown stories, including The Blue Cross, The Flying Stars, and The Hammer of God. So, sit back and enjoy the brilliance and wit of G.K. Chesterton’s inimitable Father Brown.

Kevin O’Brien is a stage and screen actor and theatrical director. He leads the popular Theater of the Word Incorporated, and has appeared in countless productions. He is currently appearing on EWTN in the new series, Theater of the Word.

Orthodoxy, by G. K. Chesterton (CD)

Read by Dale Ahlquist

It’s been 100 years since this dazzling work was first published. Written in 1908 when G.K. Chesterton was only thirty-four years old, Orthodoxy tells, in his inimitable soaring prose, of his earth-shaking discovery that orthodoxy is the only satisfactory answer to the perplexing riddle of the universe. C.S. Lewis and many other emerging Christian thinkers have found this book a pivotal step in their adoption of a credible Christian faith. Orthodoxy is perhaps the most outstanding example of the originality of Chesterton’s style and the brilliance of his thought.

In this audio book, Dale Ahlquist, the popular host of EWTN’s G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense, (Part One and Part Two) provides an introduction as well as a rousing reading of the text. Don’t miss this chance to absorb the genius that is Chesterton!

Dale Ahlquist is the president of the American Chesterton Society and EWTN host. He is the bestselling author of G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense and Common Sense 101.

Oops. I see that "Orthodoxy" is on back order. When will it be available?

Brian: I don't know for certain, but it shouldn't be long. I've been told it will be available in time for the '08 Chesterton Conference, which takes place this weekend. So...a few days?
