2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 25, 2009
By 
Josh Boone (In your grill) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visionary Christian (Paperback)
This book was a great disappointment. This book claims that it gives a sort of anthology of Lewis's works, with selections slightly longer than those from other anthologies (such as A Mind Awake or Words to Live By). Unfortunately, this book seems to be littered with excerpts that, to be fair, are indeed longer than most excerpts from other anthologies, but the selections lack the context necessary in order for the selection to be understood. This often leads the reader wondering what is meant by what he just read, hardly something desirable, especially given Lewis's extraordinary clarity on most occasions. This book represents Lewis in a bad light. A useful anthology is A Mind Awake. More useful, but also more expensive, is Words to Live By (both by Lewis). Save your money and put it to use on something you can enjoy and understand. Learn from my mistake.
