50 Years Later - C.S. Lewis


C.S. Lewis, like John Kennedy, died fifty years ago today. I'm thankful to God for Lewis' writings; he is one of my favorite authors. If I had a Top Ten list of books that are most precious to me, Mere Christianity would make the list. Other Lewis classics that I love are The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis is one of the clearest Christian thinkers I have ever read. He was a great gift by God to the church.

Not only Lewis and Kennedy, but also Aldous Huxley died fifty years ago today. A couple of years ago I read a fictional account of a conversation between the three men after death. It's a fascinating book that I recommend. The title is Between Heaven and Hell: A Dialog Somewhere Beyond Death with John F. Kennedy, C. S. Lewis & Aldous Huxley.

I did not know they died on the same day. Crazy.

I also love Lewis. He is probably my favorite author.

Jeremy,

If you get the chance, take a look at the book I recommend in this piece. It's worth the time.
