by C. S. Lewis

Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these nine addresses show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in a time of great doubt.

Considered by many to be Lewis's finest sermon of all, and his most moving address, 'The Weight of Glory' extols a compassionate vision of Christianity an dincludes lucid and compelling discussions on faith.

[Joséphine]

Initial thoughts: I hadn't planned on picking up specifically this book by C.S. Lewis but one of the Popsugar Reading Challenge 2018 prompts is to read "a book that was being read by a stranger in a public place." I hadn't paid much attention till recently, so I was down to The Weight of Glory or Kingdom of Ash by another author. Naturally, I picked this one. Beyond the obvious choice between those two, I am glad I got to listen to these addresses and sermons. They're extremely thought-provoking and I like the philosophical approach Lewis tended to take to faith.
