Jack A Life of C. S. Lewis

As I walked away from New Buildings, I found the man that Lewishad called "Tollers" sitting on one of the stone steps in front ofthe arcade. "How did you get on?" he asked. "I think rather well. I think he will be a most interestingtutor to have." "Interesting? Yes, he's certainly that," said the man, who Ilater learned was J. R. R. Tolkien. "You'll never get to the bottomof him." Over the next twenty-nine years, author George Sayer's firstimpression about C. S. Lewis proved true. He was interesting; buthe was more than just that. He was a devout Christian, giftedliterary scholar, best-selling author, and brilliant apologist.Sayer draws from a variety of sources, including his closefriendship with Lewis and the million-word diary of Lewis'sbrother, to paint a portrait of the man whose friends knew asJack. Offering glimpses into Lewis's extraordinary relationships andexperiences, Jack details the great scholar's life at the Kilns;days at Magdalen College; meetings with the Inklings; marriage toJoy Davidman Gresham; and the creative process that produced suchworld-famous works as the classic Chronicles of Narnia, MereChristianity, and The Screwtape Letters. This book is an intimate account of the man who helped-andthrough his works, continues to help-generations hear andunderstand the heart of Christianity.Sayer, George is the author of 'Jack A Life of C. S. Lewis', published 2005 under ISBN 9781581347395 and ISBN 1581347391.
