I am overjoyed that our friend Jack is recieving his due accolades and those who have not experienced his witness (or are prone to going to the cinema instead of picking up a book) can finally see his mastery. Perhaps Hollywood will even delve into the best book of all? Perhaps it's only a dream...and they probably wouldn't do it justice. I have read the Screwtape Letters, the Space Trilogy, Narnia, and several of Lewis' essays and they nevel fail to increase my interest in Scripture. I would recommend his work to anyone seeking a jumpstart in Theological studies or someone having trouble jsut picking up the Bible.

I will re-read my copy of the Letters this week. Legacy indeed...and what an incredible mind. I stumbled on the second installment ("Voyage to Venus") of Lewis' sci-fi trilogy a few years ago and only recently read it. While I'm not normally a fan of the genre (though LOTR and the Narnia chronicles did keep me up long past my bedtime on several occasions!), I was captivated by the lush descriptions and allusion to reality seen and unseen. I've since tracked down the remaining two books and am finishing the last. May I recommend these as supplemental reading to challenge readers via CSL's mastery of language and imagery to convey deeper truths? - Michelle S. Excellent news.
