Letters on Living the Faith by C.S. Lewis

Why read the book? C.S. Lewis wrote Letters on Living the Faith. This recent collection brings together excerpts from hundreds of his personal letters. Editor David C.

The letters cover prayer, struggles with doubt, how to read the Bible, questions about Narnia, forgiveness, suffering, and how to live the Christian life day by day. Lewis writes with warmth, honesty, and clear thinking. He never talks down to people. Instead he acts like a wise older friend who has walked the same road.
