Hello and welcome to Speaking with Joy, a podcast about books, beauty, and music.

So make yourself a cup of tea, sit down, and let's begin. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hello! Hello! My summer book club on Orthodoxy by G.

That hallelujah chorus sung for you by the London Philharmonic

Orchestra and directed by David Perry is for you and for me for making it through this whirlwind

of a book. If you are listening to this, I assume that you have stuck with you through all nine chapters

and nine weeks of

orthodoxy and I want to give you and me a huge pat on the back for making it

through this crazy and interesting and difficult book I laughed about it I

love that in the final pages of this chapter Chesterton himself calls it the close of this chaotic volume.

And it is something of a chaotic volume, but we have made it through together. We have thought

about difficult and humorous and important things. And I have learned so much from all of you

as you've contributed your thoughts on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter.

And I just want to thank you for sticking with me throughout this summer.

I have so enjoyed it and I hope that you have as well.

So we are entering into our very final chapter.

But before we get into that, I wanted to kind of update you on a few things and tell you what

will come after we're done with the book club.

So after we're done with the book club, I'll have a bit of a break before we start my new

season in the autumn.

My plan is to premiere the new season on starting September 9th, and it'll be on Mondays after that.

I am already so excited for this season.
