I agree great book. Though Chesterton remains my favorite Christian writer of that time, Lewis is a close second.
We used to have great Christian Fiction by some of the greatest writers of that time and now we have the "left behind" series. UGH!
PS. No offense to any "left behind" fans.
I once commented to a good (and devoutly evangelical - completely lapsed Catholic) friend that I didn't care for the Left Behind series as the first book (the only one I've read) was annoyingly poorly written and I have doubts about the scriptural basis of "The Rapture". I think the phrase she used was "you are so FOS!"
She's normally a dear but with a highly volatile temper. We're still friends (she asked for forgiveness afterwards - freely given I might add) but my opinion of the series remains the same. I haven't read much by C.S. Lewis but what I have seen is very satisfying. I'll have to look up Chesterton as well.
