A collection of excerpts from C.S. Lewis's letters offering guidance and encouragement to correspondents struggling with intellectual questions, personal conflicts, or ethical dilemmas.
C.S. Lewis's writings have inspired spiritual formation, helped people explore joy, facilitated redemption, and taught us the consequences of human choices.
Letters on Living the Faith provides wisdom and insight from Lewis—oftentimes to strangers. The letter arrangement is intentional and a felt need driven resource. The sections highlight:
- Prayer, meditation, spiritual seeking, and Christian formation
- How to put faith into practice, the psychology behind spirituality, and Catholic Doctrines
- Confessions of struggle, questions about Narnia, and consolation and courage
This compilation of letters is an intimate gem of wisdom that's easy-to-access for current fans and readers of Lewis, but will also feel approachable for new readers wanting to learn more. Lewis succeeded as a spiritual guide because of his character and the wonderful person he was.
