Tolkien. \"You'll never get to the bottom of him.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the next twenty-nine years, author George Sayer's first impression about C. S. Lewis proved true. He was interesting; but he was more than just that. He was a devout Christian, gifted literary scholar, best-selling author, and brilliant apologist. Sayer draws from a variety of sources, including his close friendship with Lewis and the million-word diary of Lewis's brother, to paint a portrait of the man whose friends knew as Jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering glimpses into Lewis's extraordinary relationships and experiences, Jack details the great scholar's life at the Kilns; days at Magdalen College; meetings with the Inklings; marriage to Joy Davidman Gresham; and the creative process that produced such world-famous works as the classic Chronicles of Narnia, \u003ci\u003eMere Christianity\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Screwtape Letters\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an intimate account of the man who helped-and through his works, continues to help-generations hear and understand the heart of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157861548272,"sku":"9781433518409","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433518409_p0.jpg?v=1763752004","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433518409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
