Novels by G.K. Chesterton
Manalive EA
This classic novel tells the rollicking tale of Innocent
Smith, a man who may be crazy—or possibly the
most sane man of all. In this delightfully strange
mystery, Chesterton demonstrates why life is worth
living, and that sometimes we need a little madness
just to know we are alive.

training has prepared him for the profound
remorse that he begins to experience.

Ida Elisabeth — Sigrid Undset EA
In this compelling drama about fidelity, sorrow
and forgiveness, Nobel Prize-winning author Sigrid

medieval Norway, this story opens in 1930. Undset
poignantly illustrates how poor choices affect the
course of a person’s life and how the suffering
endured because of grievous mistakes can become
the means by which a love is purified.
