C.S Lewis

This week I read C. S Lewis by Janet and Geoff Benge. It starts with C.S Lewis, who prefers to be called Jack, as a young boy who loves to write. He and his older brother Warren would write for hours at a time about their imaginary worlds. This is one reason why Jack was such a successful writer. Another reason was his imagination, which helped him to concoct amazing story's. His imagination was so vivid that one time he and Warren dug a hole in the yard looking for treasure. Unfortunately there father was coming home from work and stumbled into the hole. Father thought they had purposely trapped him and he punished them. Much later in Jacks life he wrote a book expressing his grief after his wife died. He told the publisher not to put his name on the front since it was very personal and a little embarrassing. Without his name the book didn't sell many copy's but Jack felt better after writing it. Throughout the book you see that Jacks motivation was simply his love for writing. I admire his writing prowess and his intense love for the lord. Jack used his gifts to write many great tales such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity and I believe the world is a better place because of it. Another thing about Lewis I admire is how he cared for people a trait he did not inherit from his father. After his friend was killed in the war he took care of his friends mother and sister for as long as he lived no matter how irritating or inconvenient the situation. This is a reflection of how God cares and loves for us. In conclusion C.S Lewis was and is one of the worlds greatest authors.
