C.S. Lewis was a masterful writer.
Who were the people who influenced his life? What books and authors
would you find in his library if he were alive today? In his new book,
James S. Bell, with Anthony Dawson, answers these questions and more.
C.S. Lewis was a prolific writer of
such classics as the "Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Screwtape
Letters." His Christian beliefs ran deep and he used writing as a way to
express himself. But, givers must also find resources for their own
strength, and C.S. Lewis had many resources. He drew strength and
renewal from people like Aristotle, Chaucer, Dorothy Sayers, and J.R.R.
Tolkein. Inside the pages of this book are more than 200 wonderful
excerpts, giving the reader an insight into not only Lewis, but so many
others as well.
This is a really interesting book.
James S. Bell and Anthony Dawson, took a great deal of time to study
and select the information here. This book is one I will read again,
taking more time to savor the individual passages presented. I recommend
this book to all readers, especially C.S. Lewis lovers. It is a great
tool in discovering the types of influences we all should have in our
lives. I received my free review copy from the Blogging for Books
program for an honest review.
Thanks for your thoughts and the review. Sounds like an interesting book.
