C.S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Enlightening read for committed (and thinking) Christians
I don't know how well this great book translates to agnostic readers, but for me it was a very enlightening and concrete way to understand what it means to try to be a good man in a world of temptation. In keeping with the time period, I believe it was Winston ...

The Chronicles of Narnia Pop-up: Based on the Books by C. S. Lewis (Narnia)

C. S. Lewis

HarperCollins, 2007

You can't go wrong with THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA POP-UP as a gift this holiday season.
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA pop-up book begins with a roar --- almost literally. In a two-page spread that chronicles the creation of Narnia, a splendid Aslan the lion practically leaps off the page as planets swirl and flowers and plants burst into life. It's a ...

Mere Christianity

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

An invitation to be transformed ...
Fitting, I think, to be reading what may arguably be one of C. S. Lewis's most important books, on a retreat during which one of my personal goals was to find a spiritual, if not religious, inner peace. Reading the work of C. S. Lewis is to meet a friend who reflects ...

The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set

C. S. Lewis

HarperTrophy, 1994

Further up and further in!
To maintain the integrity of this rating system, Amazon would need to create a category above the best. I'm glad that Hollywood (Disney no less!) made the Narnia movies, because it gave me the incentive to read what I had dismissed as a series of books written for ...

A Grief Observed

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Raw and true
CS Lewis looks death into the face; he does not flinch and does not console himself with platitudes. He had lost the love of his life and his pain is palpable to the reader. This is a raw and honest book but it is not at all depressing: At the end of the book, Lewis ...

The Problem of Pain

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

Of Human Suffering
The question or 'problem' that C.S. Lewis sets out to answer in "The Problem of Pain" is one that has confounded believers and non-believers alike: if God is good and loves his creation, why does he allow such pain and suffering to exist? How can that be good and ...

The Four Loves

C.S. Lewis

Harvest Books, 1971

A Wonderful Overview
This is in my opinion C.S. Lewis's best nonfiction work. The premise has been done before, but rarely with the sort of insight given here. His overviews of Affection and Friendship are much too often overlooked and glossed over as unimportant, but here they're given ...

The Great Divorce

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

One way ride to forever
With each and every book I read by C.S. Lewis, I become an ever more admiring fan. While I cannot say this is my favorite of his works (for that spot, I reserve "Mere Christianity," followed by "A Grief Observed"), it is as fascinating and insightful a ride as any of ...

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2007

Undated Truth
C.S. Lewis writes not about trends or fads that come and go, he writes about truth that is as applicable today as the day he wrote it. If you're searching for truth, or just trying to make sense of it all, I highly recommend the Signature Classics

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold

C.S. Lewis

Harcourt Brace & Company, 1980

C.S. Lewis's Masterpiece
The first time I read Till We Have Faces, upon finishing the last page I immediately returned to the first page and began reading it again, something I have felt compelled to do only one other time in my life. It was Lewis's last work of fiction and, in spite of being ...

The Abolition of Man

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2001

How to fix what is broken
This book is a series of three talks where Lewis illustrates the breakdown of education , from a system which embraces natural law, truth, and virtue, to one which embraces much of nothing and feeds back nothing. It is perhaps a bit dated now as teaching methods have ...

Perelandra (Space Trilogy, Book 2)

C.S. Lewis

Scribner, 2003

The best of the series
C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy is easily one of the best series I've ever read, and while each volume is so strong that it's difficult to choose the best, Perelandra, the second book, builds well on the foundation laid by Out of the Silent Planet and, in the end, outshines ...

Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

C.S. Lewis

Harvest Books, 1966

How Myth Became Fact for Lewis
The subtitle of the book - "The Shape of My Early Life" - already indicates what this is about: the experiences that shaped Lewis' thinking in his childhood and early years as an adult, up to his conversion to Christianity. It is not meant to be a complete ...

Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Donne, ...

Orbis Books, 2004

Loved it!!
I love that this series, including "Bread and Wine:Readings for Lent and Easter," because it challeneges our complacent culture-dictated experience of Advent and Easter. This is not a feel-good book, it is a faith-building book. Be prepared to be shaken up and for God ...

That Hideous Strength (Space Trilogy, Book 3)

C.S. Lewis

Scribner, 2003

Futurity Meets Creativity--The End of a Trilogy
That Hideous Strength is the culmination of Lewis's stylized creativity and his realizable mythology. This final book (in his acclaimed "space trilogy") introduces readers to a brilliant mundaness--a setting where both nothing and everything could happen ...
