Critic Reviews

-- Guardian

"Where would the Christian thinker be without Lewis? He is pivotal." -- Jan Karon, author of the bestselling series The Mitford Years

In Lewis's own words, "If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell."
