And, most importantly, it will provide an entry point for those unfamiliar with Lewis that will make them want to explore his fiction and nonfiction works. Selections from C.S. Lewis' Little Book of Wisdom: Surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things, but in failing to add new things... Do not dare not to dare. We are mirrors whose brightness is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us. I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity. |
