Product Description
C.S. Lewis was probably the most popular Christian writer of the twentieth century, and his books are treasured by Christians and non-Christians alike. This beautifully illustrated selection draws together some of his reflections on grief and shows the qualities of intelligence, honesty, and humility which made him such a respected teacher. The writings of C.S. Lewis, particularly "A Grief Observed," written after the death of his beloved wife, Joy, have spoken to thousands in their own grief. Here is a highly intelligent and articulate man putting into words what maybe you have felt and so can recognize, the only kind of person who has the right to speak to you about grief because he is feeling it himself. This is no calm approach by a skilled counselor, but real feeling, real distress, real bewilderment at the fear, the lethargy, the self-pity of grief.

A wonderful read June 12, 2001

This book came right when I needed it. Although not as long as the other book on grief by C. S. Lewis it was easier to refer to and had wonderful illustartions. This book is a gem and a great support in times of emotional need. Don't miss it!!

For Lewis collectors only! February 8, 2001

The central problem I have with these four little volumes, although I must confess to having only seen (and bought) one, rests in the fact they are very short, they do injustice to Lewis's thoughts on the subjects simply because the selection is not wide enough, and, especially on Grief, A GRIEF OBESERVED works so much better as a healing and theraputic book than this little tome ever could. If you're going to get into C. S. Lewis's thought, even if only a sampler, get something like THE BUSINESS OF HEAVEN or THE ESSENTIAL C. S. LEWIS or THE QUOTABLE LEWIS? Items like these characterize the industy that has grown up around C. S. Lewis: all sorts of merchandise is being published cashing in on Lewis and his life -- with Hooper largely at the back of it. If you want a novelty item (which is all this will ever be) or just a little gift I guess you could buy these, but why not spend a little more and buy a real C. S. Lewis book? They're so much richer!pMike London

Companionship in your Grief May 31, 2000

In our walk through life we all experience deep suffering. With this small book you get one of the most beautiful prose of a Christian writer to walk with you in the sorrow. Jack as always is sincere, humble and brilliant. Add it to your library you will need it, I did.
