The Early Life of C. S. Lewis

Surprised By Joy: The Shape of My Early Life, by C. S. Lewis (HC, 1956, $2.75)

"In this book C. S. Lewis tells of his search for joy, a spiritual journey which led him from the Christianity of his early years into atheism, and then, back to Christianity."

"Lewis did not choose God as a last alternative, nor as a way out of emotional crisis. Here, rather is a modern man who has thought his way through to the ultimate answer... Mr. Lewis tells of his boyhood in Ireland, the books he read, his early schooling, his life in the trenches during the First World War, and finally his under-graduate years at Oxford."

What a treasure to have Lewis let us in on his early life's journey, and specifically on his spiritual journey. Look for this book in the bio. section, avail. 12/15.
