A Book You Should Read

It's easy to think of C.S. Lewis as an ivory tower intellectual whose success depended upon his well-trained mind. Did books like Mere Christianity, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Four Loves depend merely upon a piercing intellect? Or was there something more?

Lyle Dorsett believes there was.

Based on years of research, interviews, and personal experience with the writing of C.S. Lewis, Dorsett tells a well-documented story of a man who was first and foremost a Christian who sought to draw close to God. Lewis knew that God was the source of everything he did. Dorsett shows how intentional Lewis was about incorporating Scripture, prayer, the life of the church, and spiritual guidance into his incredibly busy life.

The book asks a question that has gone unanswered until now: "how did C.S. Lewis grow as a Christian?". We know about his conversion and we know that the books he wrote continue to make an eternal impact on the lives of many, but how did C.S. Lewis grow in grace?

I highly recommend Seeking the Secret Place. If you are a fan of C.S. Lewis or if you want to learn how one man grew as a believer, read this book.
