Jack A Life of C.S. Lewis

"As I walked away from New Buildings, I found the man that Lewis had called " Tollers" sitting on one of the stone steps in front of the arcade.

"" How did you get on?" he asked.

"" I think rather well. I think he will be a most interesting tutor to have."

"" Interesting? Yes, he's certainly that, " said the man, who I later learned was J.R.R. Tolkien. " You'll never get to the bottom of him."

Author George Sayer will bring you closer to the real C.S. Lewis in "Jack. Drawing from a variety of sources, including the million-word diary of Lewis's brother and from twenty-nine years of close friendship with this century's most influential Christian apologist, Sayer gives a warm and enlightening insider's look at the man whom God used to bring many back to the faith.

Offering never-read-before glimpses into Lewis's extraordinary relationships and experience, "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, "Mere Christianity, and "The Screwtape Letters.

"Mythlore says this book is " likely to become the definitive biography" of C.S. Lewis. It is that and more--an intimate account of a gifted literary scholar and best-selling author, the man who has helped generations hear and understand the heart of Christianity as never before.
