It's a shame Lewis's books aren't "Christian" enough for you. As a child, they were instrumental in introducing me to the wonders and joy of following Christ, and the scope of the spiritual world that lies beyond this one....Of course I studied the Bible to gain a solid Scriptural understanding, but Lewis's books gave me the hunger to learn more.

It's a shame that Scripture wasn't enough for you to do this.

I've read and thoroughly enjoyed Lewis's books. I love his writing. He is thought provoking. But he is also inclusivist. Lewis is not Scripture and shouldn't be wasted time on in church. However it is certainly worth reading all kinds of stuff (within reason - e.g. not worth reading playboy 'for the articles.') as long as you realize that where it doesn't line up with Scripture, it is just plain false.

Yes it is, and I think God understands some of us aren't perfect in this way, which is why He provides other works of literature and art to inspire us.
