Synopsis
Lewis once wrote of being “surprised by joy” in finding his faith. In the title, composed of 127 devotional readings selected from C. S. Lewis’s many works on faith and spirituality, Lewis creates his own approach to Christianity and faith. This book ranges from the spiritual understanding of the nature of prayer, good works, and incarnation - to a worldly view of fascism, psychoanalysis, and morality.
