"If I were to calculate the impact that various writers have had on me—and there have been many who have—C.S. Lewis would always come in first, and by a large margin." ~Douglas Wilson In this collection of essays Douglas Wilson talks about one of the most beloved Christian writers of the twentieth-century—C.S. Lewis. Lewis wrote in such a way that, whether you agree with him or not, you will come away edified and sharpened from the encounter. Douglas Wilson discusses everything from Lewis' odd images of salvation in The Last Battle to Lewis' view of creation to his views on heaven, hell, and education. Owen Barfield once said that what Lewis thought about everything came out in what he said about anything. His writing is powerful because he understood that everything in the universe proclaimed God's glory and thus everything shines with God's personality—He is the "light from behind the sun."

I write in order to make the little voices in my head go away. Thus far it hasn't worked.
