Here Is a Wonderful Plate of Spiritual Finger-FoodNovember 26, 2008 Two men express Christian thought that get my mind running: C.S. Lewis and Oswald Chambers. Meant as a daily devotional, this book is brilliant in its arrangement and content. (When I first opened it, I deserted any hopes of reading only one a day and read many a day.) You can't go wrong in purchasing this one.
Only devotional I've EVER been able to keep (going on 5 years)October 8, 2008 This devotional is the AMAZING. Each day is interesting, introspective, and super encouraging (in most cases)... I mean, it's CS Lewis, at his best, and segmented in such a creative & perfect way that after 2 or 3 days you'll be excited to read it. When I miss a few days, I gladly read back all the others.
If you're an interesting person, and have a mediocre IQ or better, this will be the most interesting devotional you'll ever use! I highly recommend it!
C.S. Lewis on the KindleMarch 8, 2008 These gems from C.S. Lewis's writings are selected with great skill for each day of the year. Daily readings like this work especially well on the Amazon Kindle, and this volume is arranged superbly, with each day beginning on a new page.
A Wonderful Devotional ResourceJanuary 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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 and insightful. I have found the passages taken from "The Problem of Pain" and "A Grief Observed" to be the most compelling on a personal level.
What the reader will not find here is the sort of light, relentlessly optimistic writing often seen in devotional literature nor will he or she find a short bit of Scripture quoted and then expounded upon by some selection of Lewis' writing. Instead, what I have found are selections chosen for their ability to pierce cliches and platitudes and engage the reader's intellect both authentically and without pretense.
I strongly recommend this compilation for those who would like to go deeper into their own faith during their devotional times.

C.S. Lewis is always great. This book is awesome. It contains daily, short but deep readings will help you grow in your spiritual life. You'll read it over and over.
