this book is a compilation of lewis' books and correspondences - in morsels. i've always been intrigued by lewis since the beginning of my bibliophile days, way back when narnia was a subjective visual experience, lest you saw the bbc version on public stations or rented vhs tapes, then the b-rate stuffy brown cat suit, they dare to call aslan and whiny buckedtooth lucy was the only exposure one may have had to experience this wonderful author. and that, would be a great injustice to this creative, intellectual, thoughtful, deep, kind, compassionate man. but i digress.... this book contains excerpts from the narnia collection, four loves, screwtape letters, mere christianity, and personal letters (mostly to malcolm, his step-son, i think) and then some. all very thoughtful and touching. i've been reading this book off and on (since 1996). but recently, i've been using this book as a devotional and found it a gem to wake up to in the morning. i have a feeling that lewis is someone i'd like to just sit and shoot the breeze with. someone i would have liked to have known as a friend.
