Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
IN THIS BOOK you will read some of the most beautiful and moving passages of English prose ever written about some of the most mysterious and precious experiences you have ever felt: -the haunting sense that this whole world is a "Shadow-Land"; -the innate longing for "something more" that always escapes labels and definitions, whether theological or psychological; -soaring imagination and clear reason working in tandem to suggest some hints of this "land from which the shadows fall"; -a knockout argument that we already have "the golden key" to this land in our grasp; and -the jarring, jolting, Monday-morning, cancer-ridden, doubt-haunted world that seems to give the lie to this whole worldview as merely a desperate escapist fantasy (but does not). Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!, December 17, 1998
By Will Swinson (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
I just finished reading this book and it has helped me tremendously. I now know which direction to go in regards to Lewis' works. I'm not quite ready for "Mere Christianity", "The Four Loves", or even "Suprised by Joy." I know that based on the excerpts I read from this great book. I will now read "The Pilgrim's Regress" It should be good. I reccomend this book for anyone wanting to know more about Lewis and his works. Peter Kreeft does a fine job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly great primer, November 27, 1998
By A Customer
You can find a primer much better than this. Lewis may well be the most influential Christian of this century, and deservedly so. His writings should be read by all Christians. No one has better given Christians a real sense of how the present (the shadows) and eternity (the real thing) interrelate.
