Taking a break from literary criticism and apologetics Lewis wrote a fairy tale. The popularity of the first one he wrote would spark a series of 7 books beloved by countless people. The estate of Lewis still receives cards of children thanking C.S. for this series of books.
There ...

I'm going to begin sometime in the next day or so. The first book will be "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." I decided to go the chronological route because it is what I have done to this point.

On July 4th I picked up the first published C.S. Lewis work, a collection of poems entitled Spirits in Bondage. Over the last 5 weeks I have read the first 19 of his published works with the exception of his Broadcast Talks which would ultimately be released in 1952 ...

I'm blogging about this because I have every other Lewis work. In my mind, this successfully wraps up the first half of Lewis's writing career. It is a series of essays that he gave through his life including the title sermon.
By and large the essays are hit and ...

Yes, I know I have read 6 C.S. Lewis books in the last 3 days. Does that make me a geek? Important to know is that these works are relatively brief.

Lewis did not write this book. Instead he provided a preface and assembled 365 ...

I opted against taking a break from reading C.S. primarily because I am anxious to get to his Narnia series and secondly because the majority of these books are brief allowing me to read through them rather quickly. And with the wife and kids out of town all week ...

I include these two works in one entry for two major reasons:
1. I procrastinated in writing about Lewis' Preface to the point in which I had finished Perelandra
2. Preface is essential in understanding Lewis' motivation for writing Perelandra.
A Preface to Paradise Lost
Prior to reading this academic work I thought that ...

I don't really know what I can say about this work that hasn't already been said. I'm not really sure if anybody is reading these post about Lewis' works anyway.
Surely, while I don't think it is Lewis' best work by a country mile, it is among his best known ...
