Compuestas como una colecciĂłn de envĂos ficticios a su amigo Malcolm, Si Dios no escuchase: Cartas a Malcolm acerca de la oraciĂłn considera esta muestra bĂĄsica de devociĂłn en su forma, contenido y regularidad, y las maneras en que refleja nuestra fe y moldea nuestra forma de creer. En esta ediciĂłn de la ficticia colecciĂłn de cartas de C. S. Lewis, el venerado autor reflexiona sobre la naturaleza de la oraciĂłn: quĂŠ es, cĂłmo funciona y cĂłmo debe practicarse. La oraciĂłn es un don puro, un gran regalo de Dios. AsĂ lo entiende tambiĂŠn Lewis. Con su brillantez habitual, el autor utiliza su correspondencia con otro intelectual para arrojar luz sobre cuestiones como: ÂżCuĂĄl es el valor de la oraciĂłn? ÂżEs la oraciĂłn un soliloquio que nadie escucha? ÂżQuĂŠ ocurre realmente cuando oramos? ÂżTiene sentido orar por los difuntos? ÂżPor quĂŠ es importante la liturgia? En sus argumentos, Lewis muestra una fuerte convicciĂłn y, al mismo tiempo, una gran sensibilidad y comprensiĂłn hacia las debilidades y temores del hombre. Aunque Lewis nunca pretendiĂł que este fuera un libro de instrucciones sobre cĂłmo orar, descubriĂł que el formato de correspondencia le permitĂa compartir sus reflexiones de forma dinĂĄmica y personal. Si Dios no escuchase: Cartas a Malcom acerca de la oraciĂłn fue el Ăşltimo libro que terminĂł C. S. Lewis. Publicado pĂłstumamente en enero de 1964, tres meses despuĂŠs de su muerte, es uno de los mejores libros de Lewis, aunque quizĂĄ no uno de los mĂĄs conocidos. Letters To Malcom: Chiefly on Prayer Composed as a collection of fictitious dispatches to his friend, Malcolm, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer considers this basic display of devotion in its form, content, and regularity, and the ways it both reflects our faith and shapes how we believe. In this edition of C. S. Lewisâs fictitious collection of letters, the revered author ruminates on the nature of prayerâwhat it is, how it works, and how it should be practiced. Prayer is a pure gift, a great gift from God. This is also how Lewis understands it. With his usual brilliance, the author uses his correspondence with another intellectual to shed light on questions such as: What is the value of prayer? Is prayer a soliloquy that no one listens to? What is happening when we pray? Does it make sense to pray for the deceased? Why is liturgy important? In his arguments, Lewis shows a strong conviction and, at the same time, a great sensitivity and understanding for the weaknesses and fears of man.While Lewis never intended this to be a book of instruction on how to pray, he found that the correspondence format enabled him to share his reflections in a dynamic and personal way. Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer was the last book C. S. Lewis finished. Published posthumously in January 1964, three months after his death, it is one of Lewisâs best books though perhaps not one of his best known.Â
Conocida como la primera novela de C. S. Lewis, esta elocuente, erudita y a menudo ingeniosa sĂĄtira de la filosofĂa contemporĂĄnea sigue siendo relevante mĂĄs de 90 aĂąos despuĂŠs. Siguiendo el modelo del famoso Progreso del peregrino de John Bunyan, El regreso del peregrino de C. S. Lewis representa una serie de primicias para Lewis: el primer libro que escribiĂł tras su conversiĂłn al cristianismo, su primer libro de ficciĂłn y el primer libro que publicĂł con su propio nombre. En cierto sentido, es el registro de la propia bĂşsqueda de Lewis de sentido y satisfacciĂłn espiritual, una bĂşsqueda que finalmente le condujo al cristianismo. Esta es la historia del peregrino Juan y su odisea hacia una isla encantadora que ha creado en ĂŠl un intenso anhelo; un misterioso y dulce deseo. La persecuciĂłn de este deseo por parte de Juan le lleva a travĂŠs de aventuras con personas como el Sr. IlustraciĂłn, Media Media, el Sr. MamĂłn, el Sr. Sensato y el Sr. Humanista, y a travĂŠs de lugares como el Valle de la HumillaciĂłn. Aunque aquĂ los dragones y los gigantes son distintos de los de El progreso del peregrino de Bunyan, la alegorĂa de Lewis cumple la misma funciĂłn de permitir al autor decir de forma sencilla y mediante la fantasĂa lo que de otro modo habrĂa exigido una filosofĂa de la religiĂłn en toda regla. La alegorĂa de Lewis sigue siendo una ingeniosa sĂĄtira de las modas culturales, un vĂvido relato de los peligros espirituales y una historia iluminadora para generaciones de antiguos y nuevos peregrinos. The Pilgrim's Regress Known as C. S. Lewisâs first novel, this eloquent, erudite, and often wittysatire of contemporary philosophy is still relevant over 90 years later. Modeled after John Bunyanâs famous Pilgrimâs Progress, C. S. Lewisâs Pilgrimâs Regress represents several firsts for Lewisâthe first book he wrote after his conversion to Christianity, his first book of fiction, and the first book he published under his own name. It is, in a sense, the record of Lewisâs own search for meaning and spiritual satisfactionâa search that eventually led him to Christianity. Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing; a mysterious, sweet desire. John's pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the Valley of Humiliation. Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Lewis's allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say simply and through fantasy what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion. Lewisâs allegory remains a witty satire on cultural fads, a vivid account of spiritual dangers, and an illuminating tale for generations of pilgrims old and new.
The Adventure Begins. On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslanâs song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible.
A milestone in the history of popular theology, 'The Screwtape Letters' is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is 'lost' to the young devil. Dedicated to Lewis's friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, 'The Screwtape Letters' is a timeless classic on spiritual conflict and the invisible realities which are part of our religious experience.
A prince imprisoned â a country in peril Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends are sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.
'The Chronicles of Narnia' have enchanted millions of readers over the last fifty years and the magical events described in C.S. Lewis's immortal prose have left many a lasting memory.

A voyage to the very ends of the world A king and some unexpected companions embark on a voyage that will take them beyond all known lands. As they sail farther and farther from charted waters, they discover that their quest is more than anything they imagined and that the worldâs end is only the beginning.
One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, 'Mere Christianity' has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book brings together C.S. Lewis's legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to 'explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times'. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, 'Mere Christianity' provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.
For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography. "In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God ... perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion. 'Surprised by Joy' reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis's entire life.

C.S. Lewis's famous work on the nature of love divides love into four categories: Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. The first three are loves which come naturally to the human race. Charity, however, the Gift-love of God, is divine in its source and expression, and without the sweetening grace of this supernatural love, the natural loves become distorted and even dangerous.
