DESCRIPTION
Reveals a personal side of the 20th century's most famous Christian writerOn October 26, 1950, C. S. Lewis wrote the first of more than a hundred letters to an American woman he would never meet but maintained a correspondence with for the rest of his life.
Ranging broadly in subject matter, Lewis's letters discuss topics as profound as the love of God and as frivolous as preferences in cats. Lewis himself clearly had no idea that these letters would ever see publication, but they reveal facets of his character little known even to devoted readers of his fantasy and scholarly writings — a man patiently offering encouragement and guidance to another Christian through the joys and sorrows of life.
This book stands as a fascinating and moving testimony to the remarkable humanity and even more remarkable Christianity of C. S. Lewis.
