I’m realizing that Father Brown (the tv series), is giving me motivation and helping to strengthen my faith. The Catholic faith is also super fascinating (I’m Protestant), and the stories portray it well! I would definitely recommend this series—both book and tv—to anyone and everyone! You don’t have to be just Christian to watch it, it’s for everyone, whether some out there might realize or not.

I haven't watched the show, but I loved the books and just about everything else G.K. Chesterton has written. He has been an invaluable influence on my Christian life.

Their (the characters) are all SO real!

You need to watch the shows!

I've been meaning to try reading G.K. Chesterton for years, and I'm finally about to read one or two of his in the next few months/this year! Father Brown is one of the ones I'm going to try first. :D I think I'll like GKC.

I would highly recommend him!!

I'm not going to try his denser works - I'm starting with Father Brown, heehee. And The Ballad of the White Horse. :)
That's wonderful!!!! :D I'm Catholic and I love Father Brown and everything else by GKC.

I'm sure I will! Thank you! =D
@Amariah, yes! I couldn't get into The Ball and the Cross when I tried it years ago (the first chapter or two confused me), but I'd like to try again someday. It's just not the right one to read first!! :)

This is Chesterton's main theological book.
A special preparation for reading it isn't needed. :)

He did believe in the sanctity of marriage and of childbirth. And did not believe in abortion. He was more of a moderate, neither very liberal nor very conservative but he was strong in the faith. It’s a bit hard for us in America to judge him on his politics, since politics in England are so different than they are here. Otherwise, I’ve heard The Everlasting Man is very good!
