Story
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.

C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

In the form of warm, relaxed letters to a close friend, C. S. Lewis meditates on many puzzling questions concerning the intimate dialogue between man and God. He considers practical and metaphysical aspects of prayer, such as when we pray and where. He questions why we seek to inform God in our prayers if he is omniscient, whether there is an ideal form of prayer, and which of our many selves we show to God while praying.

In this remarkable recording, C. S. Lewis shows why millions of readers have acclaimed him the greatest spokesman for Christianity in the 20th century. In a resonant, baritone voice, Lewis explores the nature of the four Greek words that are translated love in English: storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (sexual or romantic love) and agape (selfless love).

Story
Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man remains one of C. S. Lewis's most controversial works. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the ongoing importance and relevance of universal objective values, such as courage and honor, and the foundational necessity of natural law. He also makes a cogent case that a retreat from these pillars of our educational system, even if in the name of "scientism", would be catastrophic. National Review lists it as number seven on their "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century".

Story
Have we been taught to discount the veracity and deeper meaning of our emotional resonance with the world around us? In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis looks at the curriculum of the English "prep school" and begins to wonder if this subliminal teaching has indeed produced a generation who discount such a nature.

Transcending the century
We often fall into the same trap every generation before us has fallen into; the belief that kids these days are somehow more sinister and stupid than that of yesteryear, but in Lewis’s writings we see that although there have been astonishing scientific advance’s in space travel man is exactly where he was in thought an reason as men a century ago.

Intelligent and Respectful
An intelligent collection of articles outlining how God can coexist with science. Lewis maintains the two need not be mutually exclusive, building his argument in a respectful discourse that is especially refreshing given the state of today’s meme-based shout downs on social media.

Mostly Unique Set of Essayse
Some of the essays are found in other C.S. Lewis works, but this is still a unique compilation. This one has some of his comments about how gospel truth envelopes all truth including science, while science can't realistically envelope its own truth because of how it verifies information. It also has the author explaining much more how he doesn't see himself as an example for either camp because he sees that he has received gifts from God while in both camps and has quite often been a poor example of each so is therefore not to be seen as an example. I myself see mostly the gifts that he has received and am grateful for his humble approach at trying to help whomever he could with his writing.

C.S. Lewis at his finest, deepest, most profound-
I'm a devotee of Lewis and his extremely simple approach to the unknown. He lets the facts lead to the logical conclusions. He asks in Chapter 8, what is the reaction when a writer puts himself in a play? Yet when we read his books - like this one, and letters he has written "to Malcom", e. g.- I can see Professor Kirk so very plainly. "It's just logic! What do they teach the children in these schools, anyway?"
And this is C.S. Lewis's approach to the search for God. It is a series of essays, but reads a bit like a journal. He's just so brilliant, and at times I felt like I was trying to capture a moonbeam or the glimpse of a red-winged blackbird's flash in the corner of my eye. Ephemeral, often just out of reach, yet so clearly reality.

Clarity
I have been an avid reader of CS Lewis since 1999. I began where most people do with the Chronicles of Narnia. Mere Christianity and the Great Divorce opened my mind and heart in ways I still can barely explain. For explanation of Lewis’s deeper picture and understanding of God; and that which was nearly foundational to his belief The Search for God gives wonderful insight and a clarity I truly appreciate.

More C.S.Lewis gems
Hello, there are a few themes that readers of CS Lewis’ more famous works (especially “Mere Christianity”) will recognize, there are still many gems in here - and as always, Lewis’ wonderful perspective.
