CS Lewis Daily Readings

I have many of CS Lewis' books and writings, many mentioned in this book, and have read many of his books more than once. I purchased this book since having these excerpts collected in one book for daily meditation and Bible study greatly enriches my time in the word. Lewis is one of my favorite Christian apologists. Regarding delivery, it was very quick and the books were packaged well. The book was in great condition, just as the seller listed. There are no notes or highlighting, as the seller stated. A definite A+ transaction and I will do business with this seller again. Thank you.

Good selection

I own every book (except one) that was ever written by Lewis, frequently in first editions or full leather bindings and have read each one several times. I also own several books written by Walter Hooper who put Lewis as the author. This collection is very good at representing the razor sharp reasoning skills of Lewis and his way of explaining things clearly to the general public. Be prepared to have your value standards challenged.

C.S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works

This book is an awesome daily companion to anyone's routine meditation time. Lewis expresses his passions, pains, and in-depth analysis of the human condition. A must have for anyone who appreciates the workings of a truly great mind, and a truly devoted Christian.

A Year with C.S.Lewis

There is a nugget from Lewis for each day of the year. The excerpts are well-chosen and are short enough to be read with your coffee in the morning and still have time for the news. The entries have some continuity; that is, there are three or so days in a row with connected entries from a single work. The choices are interesting, so much so that it is easy to read several days' worth at one sitting. Perhaps this collection might inspire readers to take on Lewis in his entirety, or at least one of his complete volumes.

A Great Introduction

This book is a great introduction to the riches of this masterful writer. His most popular works are excerpted, and the daily readings will surely whet the reader's appetite for more. So many "daily readings" books contain flowery nuggets with very little substance. Here, the editor carefully chooses insights that are intelligent, wise, sometimes funny, and always meaningful. "I never thought of it that way; that makes so much sense," is a refrain one is sure to repeat reading Lewis. A wonderful primer. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

A wonderful collection of Lewis insights.

While not a typical devotional, this compilation of excerpts from some of Lewis's most popular writings ("Screwtape Letters", "Surprised By Joy", "Mere Christianity" and others) is a rare and wonderful treat. Leave it to Lewis to express the Inexpressible in such a clear, profound and entertaining manner. A little dose of C.S. Lewis is a wonderful way to begin the day.
