I don't read very much. I don't read enough. I want to read more. But I have posted in the past about my love for C.S. Lewis and his writings. If I am reading a book by another author, and happen to scan ahead on the page and see those two defining initials, "C.S.", in the text, my attention level is immediately raised. I know the author has the same affinity that I have for Lewis, and I wonder if what is ahead is something that I have read before or something that might be brand new to me. Either way, I know it will be good. The first book I read by C.S. Lewis was "Mere Christianity". I fell in love with the way he made complex ideas understandable. I also fell in love with his humor and his humility. But C.S. Lewis was not just a theologian. He was also an artist with a vibrant imagination. His ability to reflect truth through fantasy was a gift like none I have ever seen before. The most popular of his fantasy writings was "The Chronicles of Narnia" and specifically "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". I was excited to see today that a new film about Lewis is being released on November 3rd, "The Most Reluctant Convert". I look forward to seeing it. If you are interested in a quick look at C.S. Lewis's life, this article is a good review.
