About the Author

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo.

Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great choice for Lent
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
I don't usually like chopped up bits of larger works, as it can be difficult to understand the greater meaning of a work without the context of the whole. This collection actually gave me enough information to make me want to try more of the original works represented here. In addition, it was a beautiful Lenten journey and devotional. There are Bible verses given for each day before the Lewis snippets, which usually went along well with the Lewis readings. I would definitely do this again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only one issue for me...
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017

I would love to give this book 5 stars, and I would but for one flaw. The kindle version, at least, has the readings tied to certain days of the week. This would be fine if Resurrection Sunday was the same every year. Or if you live a life that guarantees that you will be able to read the designated reading on the designated day. It is a minor distraction, but a distraction nonetheless. As for the readings, it is Lewis. Challenging, thoughtful, witty at times and instructive. If you don't have time to read the full books, this is a good collection of excerpts.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s CS Lewis... of course it is great.

I found the readings to not be arranged necessarily in any sort of cogent order but all were enriching and either reminded me how amazing the books the excerpts came from were, or made me want to read the books when I hadn’t. The scripture readings were nice but not always clearly relevant (to me) to the reading. In the end this work glorifies and honors God and is edifying to the reader towards maturation in their faith. Recommend for the lent season.

This thoughtful collection serves as a nice overview of CS Lewis' writings and Christian philosophy, for those not familiar with his work. It also makes a thought-provoking and enlightening devotional on a Christian's journey to Easter. An easy read with a comfortable tone that only very skilled writers can manage so easily, like a kind, wise friend speaking to you. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some good selections from Lewis, but some of the scripture selections aren't as strong
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019
Verified Purchase
Overall this is a pretty good selection of excerpts from the writings of C. S. Lewis.

The main weakness here is that in many cases, the reference scripture passages chosen for each reading have a tenuous relationship at best to the topic of the excerpt. And in some cases, the same reference scripture passage is used for multiple readings. (With thousands of years worth, and thousands of pages, of scripture to reference, one should easily be able to come up with somewhat more relevant, and non-redundant, passages). I suspect the editor is generally much more familiar with Lewis' writings than with scripture.

Still, this is a worthwhile read for the Lenten season.

1.0 out of 5 stars Easter book
Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book is nothing what it leads you to believe. It says 50 devotionals for Preparing for Easter. However, out of the whole book there is approx five articles that you could apply for Easter. For each C.S. Lewis article it lists two Bible reading, but none of the readings relate to the articles. I think the book was put together using the popularity of C.S. Lewis's writings for financial benefits only. It is certainly not a book that can be used for what it states. I do not recommend you buying it if you want a study for Easter.

An excellent anthology of C L Lewis' writings. I ordered the book after Easter, which, of course, was early this year, and I did not use it as it was intended, but I have browsed through it and I think it is extremely good. I plan to use it next year.
