Best Book Ever Read
My father gave me this book 25 years ago after my uncle had given it to him, both claiming it was the best book they ever read. I had lent this book out and never received it back so had to purchase a copy so I had one in my library. I love this book like no book I have ever read. It completely sweeps you into the story, transcending time and full of details of history. The building the main ...

Perelandra (Space Trilogy, Book 2)

C.S. Lewis

The best of the series
C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy is easily one of the best series I've ever read, and while each volume is so strong that it's difficult to choose the best, Perelandra, the second book, builds well on the foundation laid by Out of the Silent Planet and, in the end, outshines the final book, That Hideous Strength. The story begins as Lewis, writing himself into his own story, arrives in the English ...

Speechless
Oh I am speechless. This is a book full of grace, character, This is the writers real life boyhood and apparently thought he could make a good book out of it. Boy was he right! I could read this book about three hundred times and then maybe think about putting it down! This man had such a life as a kid! man you would think it was fictional but when you know its not it makes you well... Speechless!

Simply Incredible
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read a number of the negative reviews, and I can see how someone who doesn't share the religious views of Lewis might be put off. If a reader is not at all open to the possibility of the supernatural then this book might be tough going. But for anyone who has wondered, "How might a political conspiracy actually take place?", this is a must ...

A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works

C. S. Lewis

A Wonderful Devotional Resource
Taken from a number of his most widely read works, A Year with C.S. Lewis, is a wonderful resource for Christians to consider many of the theological points of their faith in small nuggets upon which they can chew and digest without becoming overwhelmed. I have been using this book for my lunchtime devotional reading and have found, without fail, that each day's reading is thought provoking ...

READ THIS BOOK!
I LOVED this book. I picked it up at the airport before a long flight because...wait for it...I liked the cover. I was transported. It is unlike any book I have ever read, and I've read a few. It was spare and neat, and yet at the same time, beautifully and heartbreakingly descriptive. I loved that every time you thought you had it figured out, and knew what was going to happen next, you were ...

Review of The Annotated Alice
The book arrived promptly via standard shipping. I purchaed this book to replace a much earlier and well-read edition of The Annotated Alice. The dust cover and the book arrived in excellent condition. I am very pleased with the book and Amazon's service. As you may have guessed, I very much like children's literature and find that more often than not, the content is far more interesting to ...

C.S. Lewis

Scribner, 2003

Clever sci-fi AND a compelling allegory!
Elwin Ransom, an Oxford don and an ardent philologist, is enjoying a solitary cross country ramble on his vacation when he encounters Professor Devine, a long-time acquaintance from his student days at Oxford, and Weston, a somewhat distracted and grumpy, reclusive individual. Weston is, in fact, a physicist who has secretly built a space craft in which he and Devine plan to return to Mars ...

a really interesting book - a lot of insight into why people have the beliefs that they have.

Nurtured by Love: The Classic Approach to Talent Education

Shinichi Suzuki

Alfred Publishing Company, 1986

Creating your own family culture
The book wonders between autobiography, philosophy, history of how Suzuki's philosophy developed, and technique but the message is clear. Most children's success is dependent on the culture parents create EVERYDAY at their home and for their children. The parents are the creators of culture and the culture is what is done, talked about, emphisized, supported, given time to, and encourage everyday ...

Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 (The History of New York City)

Edwin G. Burrows, Mike Wallace

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

SPECTACULAR!
Tremendous detail and fantastic history make this book top notch. Incredibly well researched without a "revionist" slant make this book a must read. By far this is my favorite of all American History books I have read. Having grown up in Brooklyn (and bored my buddies to death leading them to historical landmarks) only enhanced the experience. Few books "bring you there" but Gotham has that ...

Solved my Blood Sugar Highs!
I know it sounds too good to be true, but I started this way of eating (WOE) on 07/22/08 and from day one my blood sugar never went over 110. It had previously been between 150-250 (even while taking 4 insulin shots a day and 2000 mg of Metformin). I have lost almost 40 lbs in 3 months and have never been healthier. If you have the will, this will be a life changer for you.

Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

Harvest Books, 1966

How Myth Became Fact for Lewis
The subtitle of the book - "The Shape of My Early Life" - already indicates what this is about: the experiences that shaped Lewis' thinking in his childhood and early years as an adult, up to his conversion to Christianity. It is not meant to be a complete autobiography, but somewhat of a spiritual memoir. I recommend reading this book shortly before or after "The Pilgrim's Regress," which is ...

The Holy Grail of Lewis Scholarship
Hold the phone: this is simply one of the greatest literary discoveries of our time, and it cannot fail to resound for decades and forever alter how Lewis is regarded in the literary world and beyond. That Michael Ward has somehow found this Holy Grail of Lewis scholarship is very hard to believe -- until one reads the book. Planet Narnia is a triumph and a cause for great celebration, not ...

CS Lewis CD collection of 4 great books
The reading of each book was complete and well done. I had started 2 of these as books, "Mere Christianity" and "The Great Divorce", but I never seemed to find time to read them. I can listen to the CDs working around the house or in the car. "The Screwtape Letters" were great. A real reminder how clever satan is at making you think that the issue is solely yourself or others. He is called ...

Kelly Alexander, Cynthia Harris

Gotham, 2008

Satisfying and Savory
Clementine Paddleford is not a name you're likely to recognize. But as Kelly Alexander and Cynthia Harris tell us in this lively and engaging biography, Paddleford, a true original, invented the genre of culinary chronicles, to the enormous delight and edification of millions of readers over a career that spanned nearly a half century. Paddleford (1898-1967) grew up in Kansas, earned a ...

God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics

27 reviews
C. S. Lewis

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994

As Relevant Now as Then
C.S. Lewis is known for being one of the best apologists (and amateur theologians) of our day. Primarily, Lewis is a writer; he knows how to use words to draw the reader in, and then humbly offers his insights on whatever topic is at hand. It is this humility that I think makes him so accessible - he talks about what he knows and doesn't presume to be an authority over anyone. About GOD IN ...
