I’ve had this book on my shelf for years, but have only recently begun experiencing C.S. Lewis. This is a quick little read, packed full of interesting theological struggles and various pictures of human folly. 

As someone pretty steeped in scripture, I found this read comforting and illuminating. It’s small enough to not be overwhelming, but still dense enough to provoke thought. This book makes me want to explore Lewis further.

Deceptive title, but great book

If I had understood the premise of this book, I would have read it long ago. Parts of it were a little tedious for a modern reader, but the premise and the final bits really spoke to me.
