One of the books that changed my life is\u00a0Orthodoxy<\/em> by G.K. Chesterton. It was the first book of\u00a0Chesterton\u2019s that I read, but certainly not the last. \u00a0The part of the book which has made the largest impact on my own life is a section where he compares the logician to the poet. I decided I would turn that section into a picture so I could share it on my Pintrest. I thought you all might like it too, so I have included it here for you as well. If you want to read the section in it\u2019s entirety I encourage you to give\u00a0Orthodoxy\u00a0a read. It\u2019s a great book, and it\u2019s available for free on the Kindle.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
