Gary S. Selby — C. S. Lewis and Earthy Spirituality

When C. S. Lewis was asked where he wished his book royalties to be paid upon his death, Lewis responded, "after I've been dead five years, no one will read anything I've written." For all Lewis got right, he predicted that one wrong. Lewis's impact has only continued to grow. It's hard for me to estimate just how influential Lewis has been on my faith and thinking. Gary S. Selby's new book on Lewis captures this deep love and respect for Lewis's writings. Pursuing and Earthy Spirituality is neither a biography nor an academic textbook, it reads as a friendly appreciation to Lewis's work and a deep dive into the major themes which drives Lewis's intellect and imagination.If you have read Lewis or plan to, I think Selby's book should be a part of your approach. I can't recommend it highly enough.
