MEDIA REVIEWS
"I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago,and a glance into the books revives my old admiration."- John Updike
"If wit and wisdom,style and scholarship are requisites to passage through the pearly gates,Mr. Lewis will be among the angels."- The New Yorker
"C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced,for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way."- New York Times Book Review
"Lewis,perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer,forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions."- Los Angeles Times
