| Wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, The Screwtape Letters is a masterpiece of religious satire that gives an account of the underworld's foibles in our daily lives through art of temptation. | Bringing together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War Two, Mere Christianity provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith. | C.S. Lewis examines four types of human love-- affection, friendship, Eros, and charity-- encouraging readers to open themselves to all forms of love, which is the key to understanding that brings us closer to God. | A deep dive into the question: "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?” Approached with compassion and wisdom, Lewis; insight offers help to a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature. | One of Lewis' most intimate works, A Grief Observed details his journey with grief after his wife’s tragic death, offering an honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. | Told from the viewpoint of Psyche’s sister, Orual, Till We Have Faces is a brilliant examination of envy, betrayal, loss, blame, grief, guilt, and conversion. | |

About the author
Engaging fiction that highlights truth about the excuses we all make
I ran into a copy of this while on vacation recently and thought I'd give it a read. Wow! This is a great short read. It is a work of fiction that Lewis says is NOT intended to be an accurate description of what happens after death, but the premise is that a busload of people from hell travel up to the outskirts of heaven where they meet individuals they knew during their lifetimes who try to convince them to stay rather than get on the bus back to hell. The main narrative consists of the speaker (who was on the bus) talking with people there and overhearing conversations between those from hell and those in heaven. These conversations are a vehicle (pun intended) to highlighting all the excuses and justifications people have for not giving up their pride, self-deceit, bitterness, etc. In the end, nearly all the people from hell decide against staying in heaven because they can't bring themselves to admit that they were mistaken about either themselves or others. It is a really engaging read that brings out so much about human nature and the lies we tell ourselves, all packaging into a compelling narrative package that makes for a great read. Recommended.
