Whether you’re interested in Christianity or you’re a Christian Apologist, you should give C.S. Lewis a try. He really has a great way of illustrating why Christianity isn’t some hocus pocus philosophy for the simple-minded, but a sound faith that makes more sense as you explore it further. Thanks for spreading the Word and the word about C.S.!
Hey Pat! I remember reading C.S. Lewis during my dark days when I turned my back on God. I really tried to give him a chance but I think my heart was so hard that I ignored his work. I’d like to revisit his nonfiction books as I think he has a lot to say about the joy of Christian living and why you can’t afford to live your life without Jesus Christ. I love coming here because of your gentle reminders and spiritual guidance. You don’t hit anyone over the head with your teachings which makes it more palatable in my opinion. I’m sure we’ve all had Christians blasting us over the head with their Bible while they tell us everyone that we’re doing wrong. Thank God for Christians who show compassion and love to those in search of God’s Truth.
While I think Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is heavy-handed (but still an excellent book), Lewis is an excellent thinker. Anyone who thinks they’re going to get a poor man’s philosophy or theology is in for a big surprise. Lewis is a first-class thinker and it shows in his writings. I know more than a few people who have turned to Christianity after reading his work. I remember someone reading “The Screwtape Letters” in a public speaking class and I started looking into his work. Nice reminder of how good Lewis is, Pat.
C.S. Lewis is too dry for my tastes (nothing personal). Are there any contemporary authors you’d recommend for conveying the lessons I know he’s praised for teaching in his books. I’d like to learn more about Christian theology as it applies to everyday life but C.S. Lewis isn’t the right fit for me.
I don’t think you have to be a Christian to appreciate Mr. Lewis’ intellect. He knows how to write well and he has a style that makes his work even more enjoyable. Furthermore, his life is an amazing story of how someone fell from their faith and returned to it, stronger than ever. I think his life story is just incredible whether it’s his literary works, his religious works, or his heartwarming romance with Joy Davidman. I encourage anyone who hasn’t read his works to check them out, regardless of the reader’s faith. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Mr. Lewis has a knack for entertaining and imparting a moral lesson without beating one over the head with it (I think).
