CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics, the Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Nice daily devotional by an outstanding theologian. If you like this, try some of his other works - I recommend Mere Christianity to start with :)

5.0 out of 5 stars great bite size pieces of Lewis thought
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2012

Lewis is such a great Christian author! This book has various bite-sized quotes from many of his writings, many from Mere Christianity, from half a page to 3 pages long. I am reading this as I have my breakfast in the morning. I often find something to share with friends via email. I'm buying a dozen or so (used) as Christmas gifts this year.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Joyful Christian by C. S. Lewis
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013

Most all of these short readings are indeed a joy to read. As a Roman Catholic I had a problem with 1 or 2 of them so far but overall I find them to be most instructive and edifying for my faith. I am about 1/2 through the book and will continue to read it as time permits.

I did not personally read this book. Most of the books that I purchase from Amazon.com are for a young man, a friend of mine, that is on death row. He does not like just any kind of books. He is very picky. When I send him Christian books, once he reads them, he shares them with other death row inmates. The opinion he gave me about this one in particular was: "I really enjoyed this book. I usually pass my books around to bless other inmates, but I believe I will keep this one for a while." I believe this says it all.

3.0 out of 5 stars More For Theologians Than Lay People
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2015

Its hard to be critical of anything C.S. Lewis has written, but this book was a disappointment as it seems to me to be for theologians rather than the average reader. I didn't understand what I read without reading it over and over. It didn't do much for me. I was hoping by the title that it would be a good devotional. I donated it rather than returning it.

This is an excellent compilation of the best of C. S. Lewis taken from most of his greatest works. Lewis is a philosopher of great depth but expresses himself in flawless and simple terms...always getting to the heart of the matter in an understandable and inspirational way. If you can't read all of his works, this is a great book to see the highlights of them.
