I haven't read Chesterton's bio. I have read Flowers (which was so-so), but the one that really inspired me is The Mirror of Perfection. You can read portions of that work here: whatwouldfrancisdo.blogspot.com/

New question: If you have any, what is your favorite book of the Bible?
My wife's is James, hands-down. I dearly love the gospels, especially Matthew which is so well organized. However, I think I take no greater joy than in reading I and II Samuel.

It is just a great story about a great character. David would one minute do the most saintly act, and the next make a grave error. He sins quickly but repents quickly. He is the first "real" portrait of a person in the ancient world. The story of Saul is probably the most tragic one in the Bible. It is high drama and deeply touching to me.
