A collection of excerpts from C.S. Lewis's letters offering guidance and encouragement to correspondents struggling with intellectual questions, personal conflicts, or ethical dilemmas.
C.S. Lewis's writings have inspired spiritual formation, helped people explore joy, facilitated redemption, and taught us the consequences of human choices.
Letters on Living the Faith provides wisdom and insight from Lewis--oftentimes to strangers. The letter arrangement is intentional and a felt need driven resource. The sections highlight:
- Prayer, meditation, spiritual seeking, and Christian formationHow to put faith into practice, the psychology behind spirituality, and Catholic DoctrinesConfessions of struggle, questions about Narnia, and consolation and courage
This compilation of letters is an intimate gem of wisdom that's easy-to-access for current fans and readers of Lewis, but will also feel approachable for new readers wanting to learn more.
Lewis often referred to his role as letter writer as a "mentor by mail." Lewis succeeded so well as a spiritual guide because of his character and the wonderful person he was.
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 Literature 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 Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and have been transformed into three major motion pictures.
