Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective who featured in 53 short stories published between 1910 and 1936 written by English novelist GK Chesterton. For this volume Stephen Poxon has selected episodes which are as telling as they are entertaining, and which direct the reader’s thoughts to matters beyond the storyline. Father Brown’s affectionate but incisive manner again and again drills through the preoccupations of the day to make a valuable point about our spiritual path. Each of the 365 readings in this delightful anthology is preceded by a Bible verse and followed by a prayer.
