Bill Federer's American Minute from yesterday:
His death went unnoticed, as he died the same day John F. Kennedy was shot, but his works are some of the most widely read in English literature. Originally an agnostic, he served in World War I and became a professor at Oxford and Cambridge. He credited his Catholic friend and fellow writer, J.R.R. Tolkien, author of Lord of the Rings, as being instrumental in bringing him to faith in Christ. Among his most notable books are: The Screwtape Letters; Miracles; The Problem of Pain; Abolition of Man; and The Chronicles of Narnia, which include The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe.His name was C.S. Lewis, born [yesterday], November 29, 1898. Over 200 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide and continue to sell at a rate of a million copies a year, even forty years after his death.
In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis wrote:
The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but a baby, and before that a fetus in a woman's body.
A towering figure among modern philosophers, some of Lewis' sharpest advice can be found here. Take notes.
