This is a devotional style book that offers biblical insight and reflections on 26 of C.S. Lewis’ writings. Each sections starts by giving insight into that particular book and the authors’ interpretation of what motivated Lewis to write it. This is followed by specific passages taken from the work with a commentary and a Bible passage that parallels the message the authors feel Lewis was trying to convey.
I must say that I am a fan of C.S. Lewis and most of his books. I find them enjoyable and filled with some Biblical truths that Lewis approaches with allegorical creativity. I enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it to any Lewis enthusiast. I was able to in a sense preview some of Lewis’ other writings that I have not read and I enjoyed seeing some that he wrote prior to accepting Jesus Christ as his Savior. That being said I am cautious of spending too much time finding Biblical truths in what men have written vs. the Bible. I take this book as fun and entertaining, but would otherwise note that the deeper meaning that is being drawn out is the speculation of the authors. So read it, enjoy it, but don’t take it too seriously.
Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.
