This is an extensive collection of short essays and other pieces by C. S. Lewis that have been brought together in one volume for the first time. As well as his many books, letters, and poems, Lewis also wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defense of faith but also on various ethical issues and on the nature of literature and storytelling. In this essay collection we find a treasure trove of Lewis' reflections on diverse topics.

An absolute must listen. CS Lewis continues to astound and amaze.

You will not be disappointed. This is rich, diverse, deep, holy, contemplative, fantastic, original and mind bending. A must read for any CSL fan.

An intellectual seeker of truth

That is what comes to my mind listening (or reading)
C.S. Lewis. His writtings are like an internal conversation trying to make sense of arguments he creates or are important to him. Obviously topics of God, religion, theology, morality, etc are central to a big part of his writtings. I am a fan because he is constantly making this argument and looking for the truth, and that is the only way to learn and grow.

The audio book itself is very good. The narration is adecuate. The gentlemen reading has a scholarly tone that at times help, but sometimes (few times) is monotonous, however in general his reading is effective and of good quality of tone and volume. This same person also reads other works of the same author.

In conclussion, I enjoyed this audio book.

Love this book

This is one of my favorite C.S. Lewis collections. Well worth the price of a credit.

after many attempts

I have tried a few times to read this collection. I like CS Lewis's, other work, The Chronicles of Narnia, and for the most part I lack his thinking. He's very interesting. I would recommend this book for anyone.

Excellent work a feast to the ear and heart

This is a terrific book with absolutely everything for the C. S. Lewis fan. It will expand your mind, open your heart, and thrill your soul. I highly recommend this work. #inspirational #essays #CSLewis #thinkingpersonsread #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

No chapter titles!!!

Wow, what a disappointment that there are no chapter titles in this extremely long audio book!!! Where can I see the table of contents?

Great reading and very comprehensive.

Worth it for the essays alone and the short stories were a great bonus. Makes you wish he had finished The Dark Tower.

Deep thought

C.S. has a simple way of speaking deep thoughts. It is compelling and thought provoking. Personally, I only shutter at the thought that I may never gain enough time In The daily crunch that is modern America where I will find time to read all the great literature that has obviously molded Lewis’s vision of the world.

Where does C. S. Lewis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this is a great purchase. there is a ton of material and on a variety of different topics. the reader is fine. it would likely be best enjoyed by a person who has already experienced c.s. lewis in his other more traditional works, one of his (nonfiction) books. its a great supplement of diverse opinions from lewis for fans already familiar with his writing.

Loved it! Fantastic essays and stories

These are fantastic essays and stories delivered excellently. Worth every minute of time listening to them.
