Captivating reading that builds the faith while it fills the mind with greatness.-Sherwood Wirt, former editor, DECISION MagazineOne of this century's greatest writers of fact, fiction, and fantasy explores, in utterly beautiful terms, questions of faith in the modern world: On the experience of miracles On silence and religious belief On the assumed conflict between work and prayer On the error of trying to lead a good life without Christ On the necessity of dogma to religion On the dangers of national repentance On the commercialization of Christmas . . . and moreThe searching mind and the poetic spirit of C.S. Lewis are readily evident in this collection of essays edited by his one-time secretary, Walter Hopper. Here the reader finds the tough-mind polemicist relishing the debate; here too the kindly teacher explaining a complex abstraction by means of clarifying analogies; here the public speaker addressing his varied audience with all the humility and grace of a man who knows how much more remains to be unknown.-The New York Times Book Review
