(Paperback - Reprint)
For the first time ever, these seven essential volumes by C. S. Lewis are available in a single edition. This remarkable book presents the classic works Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Problem of Pain, Miracles, A Grief Observed, and Lewis's prophetic examination of universal values, The Abolition of Man. Beautiful and timeless, this is a vital collection by one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.
Lewis reached a vast audience during his lifetime, and books such as Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters continue to be regarded as among the best spiritual writing of all time. With his uncanny grasp of human nature, Lewis offers a refreshing antidote to the modern world's consumerism and moral relativism. This new edition of his most celebrated books highlights Lewis's compassion for humanity and his relevance for the twenty-first century.
More Reviews and RecommendationsC. S. Lewis was famous both as a fiction writer and as a Christian thinker, and scholars sometimes divide his personality in two. Yet a large part of Lewis's appeal, for both his audiences, lay in his ability to fuse imagination with instruction. "Let the pictures tell you their own moral," he once advised writers of children's stories. "But if they don't show you any moral, don't put one in."

July 06, 2008: This is a collection of C.S. Lewis' most significant works. Lewis was the 20th century's finest theologian and greatest Christian writer. He combines wit, wisdom, philosophical argument, and a thorough understanding of the great thinkers who preceded him in order to explain Christianity, humanity, Christ, creation, and a wide range of modern issues. Intuitively, he also foresaw and addressed many of the post-modern issues that plague us today, as well. I hold C.S. Lewis in highest esteem as a writer, philosopher, theologian, and Christian example.

October 01, 2003: What I mean by my review title is that nothing I say will give justice to the depth of C.S. Lewis' writing. C.S. Lewis had an amazing ability to articulate the most complicated of thoughts. You must read this series for yourself.
