C. S. LEWIS: Surprised By Joy

From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time shares the spiritual journey of his early life in this acclaimed memoir.

In this acclaimed memoir, C. S. Lewis shares the spiritual journey of his early life. Through his childhood in Belfast, to boarding school and youthful atheism in England, he describes the ‘guns and good company’ of his World War I experience, and lands on the precipice of his distinguished career at Oxford University.

Surprised by Joy is a chronicle of his conversion to the Christian faith and an enthralling account of Lewis’ lifelong quest for a feeling so sublime it cannot be expressed in words. The insightful lesson of ‘the most reluctant convert in all of England’ teaches that it is joy which truly guides the path towards God.
