C.S. Lewis Books

One of the most well-known Christians of the 20th century, Clive Staples Lewis was a gifted novelist, academic, poet, and Christian apologist. He came to faith later in life at age 32, after reading G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man, and after discussions with friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien. His friendship with Tolkien and a larger group of Oxford literaries known as "The Inklings," became the testing ground for many of his now famous books including The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters and others. Lewis' numerous written works combined his faith, reason, and story-telling gifts in a way that has seldom been exceeded in modern Christian writing.

With its enchanting themes of snow and cold, light and darkness, meals and gifts, temptation and sin, forgiveness and hope--and even an appearance by Father Christmas--C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe fits naturally into the Advent season. As the reader seeks a storied king and anticipates the glorious coming of Christmas, these twenty-eight devotions alternate between Scripture and passages from the novel to prompt meditation on Advent themes. Each devotion also includes questions for reflection. The book also provides several resources for churches, including four sessions for small group discussion and ideas for creating a "Narnia Night" for families. Readers will ultimately come to know God better while journeying through Narnia.
