About this listen
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.
Clive Staples (C. S.) Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. His major contributions in literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than 30 books, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

great
I would have appreciated knowing where some of these essays were taken from while listening so as to more quickly find their source material later on, but the reading was wonderful and I enjoyed getting these thought provoking snippets!

Great miscellaneous read
Good, quite heavy at times. Great reader as always. I would have appreciated a little bit better defined separation between chapters as this is a collection of not necessarily connected writings. Sometimes I was halfway through a chapter before realizing that we were on a new topic. Lewis tends to go off on a tangent as well as finish a thought abruptly. This combined with a less noticeable chapter transition proved slightly confusing at times hence the 4 stars on performance. Could even play a little ingle or something in between.
