The Most Reluctant Convert: C. S. Lewis's Journey to Faith (C. S. Lewis Secondary Studies)

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 cant start with God. I dont 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 Lewiss 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 Lewiss 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 lifes meaning so well.
