June 06, 2009: This book is very refreshing. I found myself reading long passages to friends who seemed as encouraged as I was at what Lewis wrote.
Lewis writes from the "blue-collar" view. He expresses his own difficulties and gives fresh perspectives. I found it very encouraging and , yes, it has helped my prayer life.I Also Recommend: Reflections on the Psalms.
Lewis' Belief in Purgatory Revealedby Anonymous

April 26, 2003: C.S. Lewis here reveals great insights into the life of prayer. This window into his soul reveals a man who centered his life on Jesus Christ and on converting his heart more and more to the Heart of the Redeemer. This belief in conversion culminated in his belief that 'our souls demand purgatory.' This is a beautiful testimony to Lewis and shows his confident trust in the one who created him and called him to Himself. So many know Lewis the apologist, this book introduces one to Lewis in the depths of his heart.
