2024 Review
To my surprise and delight, much of what I have come to love about the Anglican church over the last year I find I must have first discovered here in Lewis.
This is such a convicting yet practical book.

2020 Review
I need to speed up my re-reads of Lewis. Been a decade since I last read this one and that is too long.

Quotes Amy Liked

C.S. Lewis
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
