A brilliant man! I read this biography about the life of C.S. Lewis in preparation for a presentation I was doing at church as background for watching movie the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, combining two of my passions: church and teaching. (I almost felt sneaky in church teaching our attendees what an allegory is!)A quick, easy read that I read in one day (just did not want to put it down!), I found myself mesmerized by this man's initial struggle with faith and then the stand he took for his faith.
As I read, I annotated the book with tidbits that I shared with my church family and other examples to share with my students.
This is one those books that I bought some time ago and it sat and waited...and waited...on me to choose it as my next read. My only regret? It sat too long!

O wow, yes that book cover does look familiar! I have read the Narnia books, which are fantastic, but I have yet to see the movie versions. I heard wonderful things about the movies from family and friends. I know The Voyage of the Dawn Treader comes out on DVD tomorrow April 8th, I think I might check it out!
