“The heart is deceitful above all things”. The White Witch confirmed that quote without a doubt. Although she was a fictional character‚ along with everyone else in the book she did commit atrocious acts the still happen today. The lion‚ the Witch‚ and the wardrobe is a very intriguing novel written by C.S. Lewis. Now C.S. Lewis was an army veteran he also was very good friends with J.R.R.

From Lamb to Lion A chrysalis into a butterfly‚ water into wine‚ a lamb into a lion. These are all examples of transformation. A tool that not only C.S. Lewis used but even biblical authors did as well in their own writings. The importance of transformation is very prevalent in a Christian’s life because it not only shows a change in a form or a figure but the meaning behind the transformation is just as important. External transformation is a powerful visual device that can really emphasize the

In A Grief Observed‚ by C.S. Lewis‚ I was profoundly affected by the spiral of emotion that Lewis was afflicted with after the loss of H. Not only is C.S. Lewis angry at god‚ but over the course of the book he comes to terms with his pain. That god has not forsaken him and is not a cruel being‚ but instead has knocked down his house of cards showing him who he really is. This eye-opening book really observes grief down to its darkest moment. Something that we rarely get the chance to peak into in

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies‚ let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker” (C.S. Lewis). We need heroes to stand out and help when needed or called to action.

C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce is a work that showcases the many patterns of denial and rejection that people use to avoid giving their lives to God. Lewis attempts to show the difference between heaven and hell. He does not do this in the literal sense of the places where humanity will be going in eternity. Rather‚ he embodies the figurative sense of heaven and hell which people experience on earth. He focuses on the importance of our earthly decisions in the balance of not only how we spend eternity

In “Mere Christianity”‚ C.S Lewis describes how hard it is to be a good Christian in his statement “now we cannot‚ in that sense‚ discover our failure to keep God’s law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing)” (265). In this statement‚ Lewis is arguing that struggling to be good and having faith in religion takes a tremendous amount of willpower. Faith in religion takes conscious effort because it can become difficult to hold onto faith over time. I can relate this to my own personal
