The Abolition of Man
In The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the importance and relevance of universal values such as courage and honor in contemporary society. It remains one of his most prophetic works as social relativism has been uncritically adopted by modern thought — in religion, education, and government — opening the door to the post-modern claim that people are free to create their own reality through a sheer act of the will. |

The Chronicles of Narnia
All seven books of C.S. Lewis' classic series are now available in one attractive streamlined paperback volume. A Pauline Baynes illustration, pulled from the original 1950s editions, graces each chapter, and the unabridged text is presented in C.S. Lewis' original spelling and punctuation. |
|
The Great Divorce
In The Great Divorce, C. S. Lewis employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory, this time exploring the question of heaven and hell. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, the theologian introduces readers to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. |
|
A Grief Observed
Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. "Nothing will shake a man – or at any rate a man like me – out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." A beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings. |
|
Mere Christianity
A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis's books, Mere Christianity uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together. |
|
Miracles
In Miracles, C. S. Lewis challenges rationalists, agnostics, and deists as he builds a solid argument for the existence of divine intervention – offering his support to the proposition that supernatural events can happen in this world. |
|
The Problem of Pain
Why must humanity suffer? In this elegant and thoughtful work, C. S. Lewis questions the pain and suffering that occur everyday and how this contrasts with the notion of a God that is both omnipotent and good – a critical theological problem for which Lewis offers an explanation. |
|
The Screwtape Letters
In this humorous and perceptive exchange between two devils, C. S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace. Through this wonderful tale, the reader emerges with a better understanding of what it means to live a faithful life. |

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis: The Gift of Friendship
Both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are literary superstars, known around the world as the creators of Middle-earth and Narnia. But few of their readers know about the important and complex friendship between the two. Without the persistent encouragement of his friend, Tolkien would never have completed The Lord of the Rings. Likewise, all of Lewis' fiction, after the two met at Oxford University in 1926, bears the mark of Tolkien's influence, whether in names he used or in the creation of convincing fantasy worlds. Both Tolkien and Lewis were central figures in the informal Oxford literary circle. This book explores their lives, unfolding the extraordinary story of their complex friendship that lasted, with its ups and downs, until Lewis's death in 1963. |
