  The Reformed Reader — Authority: 126
   Discontent with church?  You [and I!] need to read this.  [It is from C.S.

• C.S. Lewis had something to say

  
  Pearls & Lodestones — Authority: 110
  One quote I find immensely intriguing. "You dont have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."— C.S. LewisThere is so much riding on this statement-- implications, challenges, instructions. What does this statement say to you, and how does it change the way you think about yourself, if at all?

• Is it not Life, is it not the Thing?

  
  ulaca — Authority: 126
  Reading Leslie Marchands biography of Byron, I marvel in turn at the sexual antics of the latter and the prudishness of the former, his devoted, if at times rather naughty, American biographer; naughty, that is, in terms of using innuendo to suggest certain, typically unseemly, things took place in the absence of any ...

• What’s your favorite C.S. Lewis book?

  
  The Gospel.com Blog — Authority: 134
  Last year, while looking through my local bookstore for a particular book by C.S. Lewis, I stumbled across several books of his that I wasn’t at all familiar with. I’d venture to say that most English-speaking Christians (and no doubt many non-English speaking ones as well) know Lewis’ Narnia books quite well. ...

• Half-hearted Creatures

  
  Dreamer + Realist — Authority: 115
  Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ...

  IdeaJoy — Authority: 409
  "Oh, Aslan," said Lucy. "You dont mean it was? How could I? I couldnt have left the others and come up to you alone, how could I? Dont look at me like that, oh well, I suppose I could. Yes, and it wouldnt have been alone, I know, not if I was with you. But what would have been the good?" Aslan said nothing. "You ...

• The Quotable C.S. Lewis #28: Why? Pain?

  
  Allan R. Bevere — Authority: 132
  "The possibility of pain is inherent in the very existence of a world where souls can meet. When souls become wicked they will certainly use this possibility to hurt one another; and this, perhaps, accounts for four-fifths of the suffering of men. It is men, not God, who have produced racks, whips, prisons, slavery, ...

• Finally

  
  The Daily Kraken — Authority: 125
  After what seems like years of being “forthcoming,” the long-awaited Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis, edited by Robert MacSwain and Michael Ward (the latter of Planet Narnia fame), finally has a cover and a release date.  The cover is below; the release date is September.The table of contents, for those ...

• "The echo of the tune we have not heard"

  
  One Eternal Day — Authority: 500
  John Piper begins his explanation of the importance of C.S. Lewis by describing various ways he thinks Lewiss theology inadequate. Some evangelicals consider such problems sufficient reason to dismiss Lewis entirely. Piper doesnt, and explains why in "Lessons from an Inconsolable Soul," [listen here ] : .... The ...

• Toward A New Personal Theory of Web Presence

  
  CalebMonroe.com — Authority: 104
  As you’ve no doubt noticed, there’s been very little activity here lately. Of course, that probably means you’ve all migrated away and there’s no one reading this to notice the lack of activity anyway. I’ve been thinking about what, exactly, I’m doing online. About being intentional. I’ve been thinking ...

  mills — Authority: 554
  “Do I hope that if feeling disguises itself as thought I shall feel less? Aren’t all these notes the senseless writhings of a man who won’t accept the fact that there is nothing we can do with suffering except to suffer it?” - C.S. Lewis ,  A Grief Observed , p. 33, quoted by the exceptional  Enormous ...

• Today’s devotional: God’s loving pursuit of sinners

  
  The Gospel.com Blog — Authority: 134
  When we talk about the process of conversion to Christianity, we often talk about our “spiritual journeys” or “spiritual seeking”—phrases that make it sound like we’re the ones doing the work of finding our way to God. But the Bible teaches that God, far from waiting passively for us to discover Him on our ...

• CS Lewis on Nature and Freedom

  
  Quiddity — Authority: 424
  The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the ...

• Purrs 4 Peace Week 34: ANIMAL TESTING IS AN ANTIQUE WE DONT WANT TO BUY

  
  Confucius Cat — Authority: 417
  “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race. The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain According to the ...

• "A grave thing to be deprived of"

  
  One Eternal Day — Authority: 500
  I have a couple of Kingsley Amis books in my library. Bradley Vasolis review of Conversations with Kingsley Amis motivated me to get down one that Amis edited, which, I was pleased to discover, included a C.S. Lewis effort: Evolutionary Hymn LEAD us, Evolution, lead us Up the futures endless stair; Chop ...

• Learning to Walk Holy

  
  Miscellanies. — Authority: 508
  In a recent blog comment Tom posted a gem from C. S. Lewis’ twisted little satire Screwtape Letters . It forms a nice compliment to the previous Lewis quote . Here we see how Lewis articulates the Christian’s growth in godliness when the desire to obey has vanished but the intention to obey has not. ...

• "Half a God is not God at all"

  
  One Eternal Day — Authority: 500
  I have a friend who came to orthodox Christian belief via Unitarianism. Someone once said that God is unscrupulous — He will use just about anything to bring us to Himself. Tim Keller recently decided he ought to read The Shack , did so, acknowledges it as a "noble effort," and and tells us that he has "heard many ...

• Pitcher of patience

  
  Across the Page — Authority: 417
  We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters’ side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents. (C.S. Lewis) I’ve been trying to remember which ...
