A Mind Awake
A Mind Awake: An Anthology of C. S. Lewis | C. S. Lewis
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
A repackaged edition of the revered author’s anthology featuring hundreds of selections from his writings, organized by the main themes of Christian faith. C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—wrote widely on all the main themes of Christian faith: God, Jesus, the Trinity, Scripture, sin, evil, nature, sex, the Christian life, prayer, faith, compassion, guilt, and forgiveness. A Mind Awake includes hundreds of short excerpts, curated from the full range of his works and organized them by theme. Useful as both a reference work and as a devotional resource, A Mind Awake contains hidden gems of wisdom that are provocative, whimsical, and insightful, and is an ideal introduction to this towering figure who has profoundly influenced modern Christianity.

Tremendous anthology with a most apt and appropriate title. If anybody‘s mind was awake it was Lewis‘s. The prose leaps off the page too: ‘A creature revolting against a creator is revolting against the source of his own powers - including even his power to revolt...It is like the scent of a flower trying to destroy the flower.‘ I‘m not sure I agree with him here but I sure as hell wish I could write like him.

LitStephanie I feel the same. I do not enjoy reading Christian apologists, but C.S. Lewis was such a great writer, the prose stands on its own. 4y
