It’s been nearly half a century since C.S. Lewis’s death in 1963, but this life-long professor of medieval literature remains one of the best-selling Christian authors today. And it’s not just Christians who appreciate him. In 2008, The Times of London ranked him eleventh on their list of “the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.”

One reason for his enduring popularity was Lewis’ ability to write engagingly in all sorts of formats, from children’s fiction to academic treatises. As Christopher Mitchell, director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, says, “Lewis had remarkable instincts about what to address and what not to address and how to address it.”

This CT Essentials is a concise, engaging introduction to the man and his legacy. Spend an evening with this eBook, and you’ll want to spend a lifetime reading Lewis.

I have grown up loving Lewis's writings, beginning with Narnia and discovering new ones as I got older. Reading this issue helps me understand and appreciate the man and his writings even more. I haven't finished reading this issue yet, but the articles that I've read so far have impressed me. The wide variety of authors who contributed to this issue provide neat insights into many topics. I'm particularly impressed how many thousands of letters Lewis wrote individually to answer questions of fans who had written to him.

I'm glad I bought this issue on Kindle. I appreciate downloading Kindle content on my PC without needing to actually purchase a Kindle.

C.S Lewis or Jack as I prefer to call him made one of the most significant impacts on Christianity in the 20th century. This is his story. If you like Shadowlands then you will really appreciate this book
