C.S. Lewis

I decided to put together a little “blog-offering” as something of a tribute to C.S. Lewis in an effort to communicate my appreciation for him and my indebtedness to his life and writing. I told my wife not too long ago that I really do think I could spend the rest of my days reading his books as well books about him and his contributions across his various spheres of influence. He speaks to me as very few others do outside of Scripture.

Of course, I’m no Lewis scholar. I’m a rank amateur at best. But I am a fan. And while I can’t cite every fact about his life or how he influenced such-and-such school of thought, I find myself returning to him time and time again… whether it is his fiction or nonfiction or letters or poetry. For that matter, I usually have a biography somewhere near my bedside table as well.

Until such time as I’m able to put together enough coherent thoughts to write a proper tribute to him, I thought I would pass along a “mega” Top Ten List that will actually include far more than Ten. Below are a few links to websites by folks who really are Lewis scholars and who have contributed in helping us think about how Lewis may serve us as a spiritual guide, among other things. I have also included links to websites about his friends, his influences, and those who have been greatly influenced by him. Enjoy.

Joy and Truth,
