Better than a box of chocolates! December 4, 2007
As other reviewers have noted, everything Lewis wrote is amazing. The profundity of his thought and the simplicity of his presentation are two of the characteristics which mark him as a literary master. This book then gathers gems from Lewis' corpus, they are grouped topically, and indexed. Thankfully there are also references made to the source from which any given quote was taken, so that future reading is made easier to find. This is certainly a good reference book to have for reflection, inspiration or instruction.
Always a Joy August 11, 2007
Everything CS Lewis did was fabulous. If you are a fan, you should own this book.
The appetizer before the feast April 3, 2007
This is a wonderful anthology of Lewis' writings. Taken from many of his well known and lesser known works, this is a great reference tool for anyone who is familiar with his works and especially those of us who only know him from his Narnia Chronicles. After much soul searching, Lewis became converted to Christianity. He moved from atheist to Christian theist. With much thought and talks with Henry Dyson and J.R.R. Tolkien, he became convinced about Christianity. From this conversion, a great Christian apologist was born or perhaps reborn as his life and thoughts expanded and shifted. Within this work are the thoughts of the pre and post converted Lewis. His train of logic can be followed and examined in a more readily available format. This hopefully will not eliminate the need to read his works but serve as a taste that leads to further readings. Lewis had an interesting perspective and viewed things from both sides of the coin and sometimes the edge as well.
Reading through these thoughts causes me many times to stop and reflect. Lewis was the type of author that really makes one think. Whether browsing by specific subject or source, this is a reference tool that is well worth adding to the shelf.

For writers, preachers, and educators, this handy reference is indespensible. Imagine having the ability to probe the greatest works of C.S. Lewis on specific topics. You'll enjoy this and wish you'd bought it sooner!
