Excited

I am a great fan of C.S. Lewis, always have been since I was a kid, so to find this writings was a pleasant surprise. The quality of the book is excellent and as I am old fashion I suppose and enjoy curling with a book in a corner, this book met this need. It looks wonderful on my bookshelf and it really is a master find. Thank You!

Expert On Love

I'm talking about The Four Loves (a book within the book): C.S. Lewis was an expert on many subjects. His clear thinking is almost unheard of today. This book outlines what love is from a purely Christian perspective. It is like a textbook on love, and I've read it twice. Plan to read it again.

Very thought provoking!

C.S. Lewis never fails to inspire one to think on a higher level. He can take a simple subject and write an entire book which keeps your attention throughout. The fact that these books were written before our modern era gives us a unique perspective on these still-pertinent topics.

Omni-mind from four directions!/Buy Bulk!

Personally, I don't know how Inspirational Press stays in business! They have all of these high-quality books for bargain-barrel prices. And the printing aspects are high-quality-the bindingholds up to my vicious attacks with the pen and constant pondering and page-turning and re-page-turning!This is a "four-fer," containing some of C. S. Lewis's best work."Surprised by Joy" is his spiritual autobiography and the basis for the film "Shadowlands." If you love Lewis or love biographies, get this and enjoy! It ranks with St. Paul, St. Augustine, and St. Martin Luther in power and depth of conversion."Reflections on the Psalms" is Lewis "comparing notes" on the psalms, student to another student. He is very perceptive and has a strong background in literary criticism, so his commentsare insightful."Four Loves" is an essay on the most favorite of all emotions. He compares the different types or dimensions to love that we do not normally considers. God is love, but what, pray tell, is love? Lewis discusses this question and comes up with answers."Business of Heaven" is a daily devotional a la Oswald Chambers, and includes special readings for special days and movable feats. IT works well for Protestants and Catholics. There is even a reading for Leap Day, avoiding a common mistake devotionals make.If you have thought about getting one of these books, get this "four-fer" and save your mony by buying in bulk.

Loved it! Lewis stimulates the thinking process.

C.S. Lewis offers an inspirational and thought-provoking collection of works here. "Surprised by Joy" tells a powerful story of a man converted by God's marvelous power. Lewis explores the essence of salvation when he confesses that he came into the Kingdom of God fighting every inch of the way. He reveals that the natural man has no desire to be saved but that God's will ultimately wins out over our own."Reflection on the Psalms" is inspirational, devotional, and thought-provoking. It is a must read for every C.S. Lewis buff."The Four Loves" ought to be read by everyone, Christian or non-Christian. It explores Love in in its simplest forms with reverent intellectual integrity and in its highest forms with awe-inspiring depth. Any reader will go away from this one with a deeper understanding of this basic human need and God's powerful force of Love. If you read anything at all "The Four Loves" must be on the list."The Business of Heaven" is rich with Lewis' imagination, classic style, and terrific philosophical questioning. He takes us right into paradise!
