The Man We Meet Along the Way: Essays on the Works of C.S. Lewis (English Edition)

C.S. Lewis, a world-renown author behind titles like "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and "Mere Christianity", originally intended his creative writing to bash the notion of God. However, he came to believe in God and subsequently committed his life and writing to following and sharing Jesus. In doing so, millions of people have, over the years, encountered a coherent presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a work by Lewis. The way he seemed to know a reader's objections, sometimes even before they rose to the surface, is a hallmark of Lewis' works. Scholars at the time of Lewis' death in 1963 thought his work would be quickly forgotten, but because he wrote seemingly to echo the disciple John’s reason for writing his gospel – “that they may believe” – his work lives on. And so, in this collection, The Sycomore presents essays from a variety of writers - from doctors to journalists to memoirists - on moments when a Lewis passage intersected with their lives.
