I was introduced to C. S. Lewis the usual way – through Narnia. It was only later that I discovered he had written several books on various subjects ranging from theology and apologetics to poetry and science fiction. This little book C. S. Lewis – Readings for Meditation and Reflection is an excellent introduction to his theological and apologetical work, with short excerpts drawn from his various books. Lewis’ unique style of profound simplicity provides honest answers to searching questions. I love his no-nonsense attitude of saying it as it is. There’s no flummery or pseudo-philosophical twaddle. He cuts straight through all the platitudes to the heart of the matter and strikes home! Lewis expounds “…the simplicity that is in Christ.” * Reading his work has made me sit up and think about… well, about what I think! More often than not, I’ve found myself complicating my life through my attitudes and my thought process; but the truth has been so simple all along! It’s liberating!

So once again, thanks to Aisi I have a project of sorts to work on! Looking for books to read is never difficult for me; I thrive on buying books and stuffing them into bookcases! Invariably there are those that fall under the radar, so to speak. So when Aisi suggested an e-summer-book-club , I jumped at the chance of getting some much-overlooked books read! After spending hours rummaging through my collection, I surfaced with quite an eclectic selection of tomes! So here’s my list – C. S. Lewis – Readings for Meditation and Reflection. (ed. Hooper, Walter. 1992) The Set Of The Sail. (Tozer, A. W. 1986) The Pilgrim’s Guide: C. S. Lewis and the Art of Witness. (ed. Mills, David. 1998) Animal Farm. (Orwell, George. 1945) Three Men In A Boat (Jerome, Jerome K. 1889) Christ And The Media (Muggeridge, Malcolm. 1977) To Kill A Mockingbird (Lee, Harper. 1960) Northanger Abbey (Austen, Jane. 1818) Scandal At School (Cole, G.
