From the Publisher
This book has the essential quality of a biography — it’s reliable.”
— Walter Hooper, C. S. Lewis’s personal secretary and editor
“Devin Brown has always been my go-to source for all things related to Middle Earth and Narnia. In A Life Observed, he shows us Lewis’ remarkable journey from hardened skeptic to one of the most joyful, thoughtful, and influential apologists in the history of Christianity. Like Lewis, Devin is a pleasure to read, and you can’t help but feel a little smarter — and a little happier — when you finish this book.”
— Micheal Flaherty, cofounder and president, Walden Media

Jon Gauger’s magnetic presentation immerses the listener in a reflective look at C.S. Lewis the person. It chronicles his journey down the pockmarked road of his atheism to the reclaiming of his Christian faith. Known as “Jack” to his friends and family, Lewis wrote many letters to his brother and his literary friends, including J.R.R. Tolkien. Gauger’s dramatic reading of these letters creates vignettes that capture the essence of Lewis at his most personal. Gauger’s voice creates a calm resonance that reflects the peace that Lewis sought throughout his prodigious life. The seamless delivery creates a pleasurable listening experience for the many fans of this master of fantasy. E.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
