Weight of Glory (Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, #15)

by C. S. Lewis

Julian Rhind-Tutt (Narrator)

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.

Addressing some of the most difficult issues we face in our day-to-day lives, C.S. Lewis's ardent and timeless words provide an unparalleled path to greater spiritual understanding.

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.

Also included in this volume are "Transposition," "On Forgiveness," "Why I Am Not a Pacifist," and "Learning in War-Time".

Reviews

[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.
