The Connected Soul of C.S. Lewis

[Geee]

To most, C.S. Lewis is probably known for his fantastic imagination. The Chronicles of Narnia have been a core part of millions of people’s childhoods, and with good reason: Lewis builds out a whole world and develops a rich array of characters, and the themes he develops are provocative enough for most parents to enjoy the books, too.

Many others know Lewis for his incisive mind and Christian faith, which combined to make one of the best popular Christian works of apologetics ever written, Mere Christianity. Originally delivered as a series of radio addresses to Britain during World War II, the book has come to be one of the most influential Christian books of the last century.

But while these works show aspects of the character of Lewis, they do not display the man himself. Eerdmans Publishers has re-released a book this year that provides just that window into the man his friends called simply Jack—Letters to a Christian Lady, originally published in 1967, four years after Lewis’s death.

I saw this earlier. I may have found my Christmas present to myself.
