A very interesting book is "Soul Survivor" by Philip Yancey - about how his faith as a Christian "survived" the church.
He refers to the Victorian journalist GK Chesterton and says:
"By the age of nine he (Chesterton) could barely read and his parents consulted with a brain specialist about his mental capacity. He dropped out of art school and skipped university entirely. As it turned out however, he had a memory so prodigious that late in life he could recite the plots of all 10 000 novels he had read and reviewed. He wrote five novels of his own as well as 200 short stories...etc"
C.S. Lewis looked to Chesterton as his "spiritual father".
The book is a wonderful and encouraging spiritual journey.
