A nice collection of essays, some better than others, varying from insightful to mere intellectual exercise. Regardless, there's plenty of wisdom to be found and it's relatively easy going compared to some of Lewis' other works. ( ) This is a book of essays. As usual, I struggle with C.S. Lewis. Sometimes he makes perfect sense, and helps me to understand what people are thinking with this whole religion thing. Other times he will make sweeping generalizations, "a scientist would think", "an atheist would think", that are frustrating. A good book, and I still admire him even if he sometimes makes me want to fling the book across the room. This is the first book I’ve ever finished by C.S. Lewis—including the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe series (yes, I know!). I assumed that I would find myself bored or confused by his books. I never knew how sharp his arguments are. I found myself constantly just impressed at how he weaves through this complicated theology in such a profound way. I’m sure that about five re-reads would have to be in order for me to even grasp half of what he’s saying, but for my first read, I gained a lot. This is one for those who like to argue, those on the fence, those who doubt the depth of faith. It was GOOD! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

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. "The Weight of Glory," considered by many to be Lewis's finest sermon of all, is an incomparable explication of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are: "Transposition," "On Forgiveness," "Why I Am Not a Pacifist," and "Learning in War-Time," in which Lewis presents his compassionate vision of Christianity in language that is both lucid and compelling.
