Excerpts from What C.S. Lewis Achieved

That Hideous StrengthMy science fiction novel The Luna Cult Chronicles is most similar in spirit to That Hideous Strength. The events of That Hideous Strength follow those of Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra and once again features the philologist Elwin Ransom. The story involves an ostensibly scientific institute, the N.I.C.E., which is a front for sinister supernatural forces. |
The Problem of PainSeared with sorrow at the death of his wife Joy Davidman Gresham, Lewis wrote, under the name of N.W. Clerk A Grief Observed. "No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear,” he writes in the first line of the book. "What chokes every prayer and every hope is the memory of all the prayers H and I offered and all the false hopes we had." |
True Friends“True friends don’t spend time gazing into each other’s eyes,” C.S. Lewis noted. “They may show great tenderness toward each other but the face in the same direction—toward common projects, goals, and, above all, towards a common Lord.” I’m fond of this photograph of my parents gazing into the distance of the Straits of Malacca in 1972. With shoulders squared and confident of the future, they navigated their life’s journey together. |
