Wisdom in a Time of War
What Oswald Chambers and C.S. Lewis teach us about living through the long battle with terrorism




ADVERTISEMENT

J.I. Packer wrote on C. S. Lewis for Christianity Today in 1998's "Still Surprised by LewisWhy this nonevangelical Oxford don has become our patron saint."

Christian History has covered C.S. Lewis in issue 7 and issue 65, where Lewis was profiled as one of "The 10 Most Influential Christians of the Twentieth Century."

If it's Lewis you're interested in, Into the Wardrobe should fill your every desire.

The Discovery Institute's C.S. Lewis and Public Life site is another wonderful resource of papers about and by Lewis. Beliefnet also has a series of Lewis-centric articles, including a C.S. Lewis essay contest.

Still hungry for more? You'll probably never have the time to read everything linked at the C.S. Lewis Mega-Links page.

Christianbook.com has extensive collections of Oswald Chambers and C. S. Lewis works.
