Good autobiography, but little about conversion - Rated Not the greatest sinner... - Rated Well, perhaps not. But the most important sin referred to in the book is that Lewis was indifferent of Christ. That is of course a major problem and one that the Scriptures is dead set against. The JOY that Lewis refers to is what is different from indifference. JOY is the Holy Spirit coming to you at a most unexpected time. If you feel JOY then you feel the touch of God. That is what Lewis want us to see in the book and that is what was missing from him when he was an atheist. He did not feel JOY. That said - and said loudly, for that should be known as the books theme - I was disappointed with the book. Vanity in young boy's dressing is not a major sin - it is a misunderstanding, but Lewis thinks of it as a SIN and that is boring. We know from books like "The Inklings" that Lewis had a different life from others (strange relationship with an elderly woman, strange marriage and so on). From this book I feel that Lewis had a human problem of not being able to relate to other, and it may be that the very sex-divided and oldfashioned British school system is to blame in this case. The book is well written but apart from the fact that it is about Lewis' life he had said his most important thoughts much more convincingly in other places (see for instance Miracles). I Found this difficult to read - Rated Surprised by Joy - a thoroughly enjoyable autobiography. - Rated Funny Story and Review... - Rated |
