The C.S. Lewis Project 2014

Another project/challenge for 2014 is The C.S. Lewis Project. This project was proposed by the wonderful moderators on my Goodreads book group, The Dead Writers Society .
C.S. Lewis is one of my favourite authors. I began by reading some books from his Narnia Chronicles when I was young and later, as an adult, I read many of his theological books. Not only is Lewis brilliant, but he is adept at communicating complex ideas and concepts in a way that is easily accessible to your average layperson …….. like me! While he has definite opinions, which he supports using common sense and reason, he also is very gracious towards the people and groups with whom he disagrees. The depth and variety of his subjects mean that each read through his books exposes layer upon layer of valuable insights that have just as much relevance today as when he wrote them.
The schedule for The C.S. Lewis Project 2014 will look like this:
Dec 29 - Jan 11: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Jan 12 - 25: The Horse and His Boy
