In his teens, a young man wrote,
I believe in no religion. There is absolutely no proof for any of them.
After serving in the trenches of WW1, the same young man said,
I never sank so low as to pray.
To a religious friend, he wrote impatiently,
You can’t start with God. I don’t accept God!
This young man was C. S. Lewis, the
foul-mouthed atheist
who would become one of the most eloquent Christian writers of the twentieth century. David C. Downing offers a unique look at Lewis’s personal journey to faith and the profound influence it had on his life as a writer and eventual follower of Christ. This is the first book to focus on the period from Lewis’s childhood to his early thirties, a tumultuous journey of spiritual and intellectual exploration. It was not despite this journey but precisely because of it that Lewis understood the search for life’s meaning so well.
