And because these deifications always emerge at moments of turbulence - civil wars, imperial conquest, revolutions - they have much to teach us.

It was an outlawed book, a text so dangerous "it could only be countered by the most vicious burnings, of books and men and women." But what book could incite such violence and bloodshed? The year is 1526. It is the age of Henry VIII and his tragic Anne Boleyn, of Martin Luther and Thomas More. The times are treacherous.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton has become synonymous with modern Christian apologetics. But his impact goes beyond just those interested in a defense of Christian thought. His writings have influenced such diverse authors as C.S. Lewis, Marshall McLuhan, and Jorge Luis Borges, and remains a subtle and unseen presence in contemporary Catholic thought. At his funeral, Ronald Knox said "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton."

God created man in his image and after his likeness as a tripartite being who consists of spirit, soul, and body. We are a spirit, who has a soul, and lives in a body. This truth is hidden in biblical types. By using the language of symbolism, the spirit, soul, and body are revealed. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures that scripture provides help us to unlock the revelation of God’s word. A rich understanding of the makeup of God’s highest creation called man, who is a triune being, is brought into greater light with redemption’s story at its heart.

This is a passionate but breezy polemic that seeks to expose the harmful nature of religious orthodoxy, whether it be Christian, Jewish, or Moslem, which it contrasts with polytheism, specifically Greek polytheism, altogether a more relaxed system. It is also a forceful plea for the use of reason in pursuit of the biggest questions that confront us. An Ordinary Man’s Letter to God is not an attack on faith, nor does it advocate for atheism. It argues passionately for the use of reason to establish a universal doctrine of tolerance, decency, common sense, and love.

Men are told they must earn their manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions and even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because men are trying to win the approval of their peers, wives, fathers, or even God Himself—leaving them isolated, burnt out, and confused. Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? In this book, Jeff Kemp shows you what it means to receive your identity as God's son and learn from Jesus' perfect example of being a man.
