“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 is perhaps best known for his book “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and the others in the Chronicles of Narnia series.
His book Mere Christianity is considered one of the most powerful apologetics of the Christian faith.
Lewis wrote A Grief Observed after his wife died of cancer just a few years after their marriage.
In it he reflects on life, death and faith .
“This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a
stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe,
and how he can gradually regain his bearings.”
