C.S. Lewis Classics ::: Homepage

What we call 'being in love' is a glorious state, and, in several ways, good for us. It helps to make us generous and courageous, it opens our eyes not only to the beauty of the beloved but to all beauty, and its subordinates (especially at first) our merely animal sexuality; in that sense, love is the great conqueror of lust. No one in his senses would deny that being in love is far better than either common sensuality or cold self-centeredness. But, as I said before, 'the most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of our own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs'.

We found an interesting partnership recently between the Narnia film projects and Samaritan's purse, a nonprofit organization that works with the very poor around the world. This blurb is from the website.

Growing up with C.S. Lewis (And Staying Young With Jack)

by Malcom Guite
A great paradox at the heart of Christianity is that Christians are called to be both child-like and mature! On the one hand Jesus says “whosoever shall not receive the kingdom as a little child, he shall not enter therein (Mark 10:15) on the other hand Paul reminds us: ‘That we henceforth be no more like children, tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine … but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.’ (Ephesians 4:14-15)

News & Pews Resource

HarperOne, publisher of this blog and the C. S. Lewis books you know and love, wants to better serve the Christian community. We’ve been talking to our authors and friends in the Church and one of the suggestions we’ve repeatedly received is the need for a timely online newsletter that would keep church leaders abreast of new books, special offers, authors in the news, trends, ideas, and resources for ministers and other church leaders.
