I made an exciting discovery at the public library. It is a little C.S. Lewis book I have never heard of. I snatched it.
Reflections on the Psalms, C.S. Lewis, Harcourt Brace and Company, 1958.
Jack (the name C.S. Lewis preferred over Clive, and who can blame him) and I are going to go through the Psalms together.
This is the year of C.S. Lewis. Clive Staples "Jack" Lewis, 1898-1963 is the patron saint of thinking Christians. His writings have influenced millions. His book, The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, is the inspiration for my blog.
I will be doing a lot of Lewis blogging in the months to come. Lewis' writings span an immense spectrum. Science Fiction; Children's Literature; Apologetics and more. Many do not realize that Lewis revitalized children's literature, and gave science fiction respectability and acceptance as a literary genre.
Lewis' work, Mere Christianity, absolutely lit a fire underneath me when I first read it in 1985. The Chronicles of Narnia are an all-time favorite in my household. I have read them to my kids twice. Ever wonder why I picked The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader as my favorite of the series? Since I get asked that so much, and since "Voyage Of The Dawn Treader" is the number #1 search string used to find my blog, I will answer that question in a separate post.
For now, I want to publicize the Narnia on Tour tour. Check the site for dates and locations.
"The primary goal of the tour is to foster informed, local conversation about Lewis, his faith, imagination, and writing."
Hey Jolly Blogger, let's go to the November 3rd lecture at the Borders in Camp Hill, PA. That is an easy four hour drive from Roanoke. What say you?
