Weight of Glory

One of his best!

While reading The Weight of Glory, I found that I needed to be fully invested in CS Lewis' writing in order to really absorb what he was saying (or else I would get lost and confused in his extensive explanations and never ending examples). But at the end of each chapter I left with a sense of enlightenment and encouragement. The main point I left with from this text was to make Christ be the center of EVERYTHING I do. I found myself reflecting on my own life and created goals to further my relationship with Christ. As always, Lewis' use of biblical and logical reason, metaphors and analogies, and his constant humble tone makes his ideas easy to understand and incorporate into your own life. As you read, you know that the Lord is using Lewis has his tool to reach thousands of people and to tell them how to better their relationship with Christ. If you are a Christian who is striving for challenges, this book introduces you to a range of topics and gives you the support to explore them further.

Nothing New Under the Sun

C. S. Lewis' lectures in his day were relevant to the times and human nature. He doesn't get bogged down explaining scripture, but transparently, with deep thoughtfulness, considers human ethics. He seems to be thinking out loud as he reasons through some of man's toughest choices. Like a treasure hunter going into the depths of the sea, he prepares, guides and rescues the reader just before the student thinks he knows more than the teacher. He doesn't just tell about the nature of God, he lives out what he believes to be God's will for himself and friends who know him well.

THIS IS A GRAND BOOK FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY C.S. LEWIS

I read a section at a time, give myself some time to digest what I have read. Some themes give me pause to contemplate and ask questions of myself.

Life Changing

New perspective on our lives as mortals and the eternal impact of our spirit. It made me weep.

The best of C.S. Lewis

The title essay is among the best -- if not the very best -- of Lewis' writings. In a sermon-length essay, he concisely captures his thoughts on transcendence, longing and the sacramaental nature of reality, dominant themes in all his writing. Easy to read as always, it nonetheless stands up to many, many rereadings. The book also includes "Why I am not a Pacifist" and "Learning in War-Time."
