For years and years in both my professional and personal lives I have used and loved and quoted CS Lewis' non-fiction works. I've listened to people tell me how life changing Mere Christianity was for them or how moved they have been by reading Lewis' thoughts. So, this Lent, I thought it was more than time for me to actually READ one (or more) of his works.
Engaging, thoughtful, deep, charitable, heartwarming-- these are just the first of the many words that come to mind as I try to describe Surprised By Joy. Truly so much more than I expected. I figured I'd learn a lot and be moved to pray about things, etc but I didn't expect to want to read my "spiritual" book over the novel I'm currently enjoying. It's just that good. So, if you've ever considered reading Lewis, but hesitated...stop. Don't hesitate. He's wonderful!
