Lewis http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/show/270 The blog of the Dartmouth Apologia Fri, 13 Jan 2012 19:13:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Judith http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/show/270/comment-page-1#comment-232 Judith Fri, 16 Apr 2010 05:39:10 +0000 http://blog.dartmouthapologia.org/?p=270#comment-232 Hello! Visiting from the Ichthus at Harvard - I totally agree with this post, and it's pretty much my trajectory with Lewis too, except that I stubbornly refused to read him when I was young cos my mum sold him too hard :p My own loss..I agree that A Grief Observed was heartwrenching, and helped me understand him as a person, rather than as a rockstar.

The book is a "spiritual autobiography" in which Lewis plays a significant role in Vanauken's spiritual development. It's a truly remarkable book.

For an introduction to Lewis and an analysis of what his works best accomplish, I'd recommend the following from John Piper: http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/ConferenceMessages/ByConference/46/4503_Lessons_from_an_Inconsolable_Soul/ Hear, hear!
