It sounds like he was a man of great faith. <br /><br />Bennett's "Book of Virtues" is a masterpiece for both adults and children to read. <br /><br />God Bless, LSP!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-72885330342209256972010-07-31T16:38:45.442-07:002010-07-31T16:38:45.442-07:00What an intellect Belloc was!

I found it interesting that he included this as the last of the Great Heresies, grouping it with ones that preexisted the printing of the New Testament.<br /><br />I was also pleasantly surprised to discover, once the kids came along, that he was also a writer of such classic childrens poems as "Matilda, who told lies and was burned to death," and the one about the little girl who slammed doors and died by having a bust fall on her.<br /><br />Anyone who thinks our children should not be exposed to such literature nowadays is full of it. In all of Bennett's "The Book of Virtues," those were the favorites of all our kids.<br /><br />Children have a wisdom all their own and a keen sense of justice.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.com
