"Joe Rigney has written an engaging book that artfully pulls together much of what C. S. Lewis had to say about living for the glory of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon Lewis's books, essays, and letters, Rigney offers an insightful overview of the author's teaching on Christian discipleship." --Lyle W. Dorsett,Director Emeritus, Marion E. Wade Center; Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism Emeritus, Beeson Divinity School; author, And God Came Inand Seeking the Secret Place "There may be no more important cultural question today than what it means to be human, and as Joe Rigney says early in this book, C. S.
Lewis continues to be refreshing and unique on this question and so many others. Rigney's ability to reintroduce Lewis to readers is refreshing, unique, and on full display in this book." --John Stonestreet, President, Colson Center; coauthor, A Practical Guide to Culture "C. S. Lewis gets to the heart of the human condition, and Joe Rigney gets to the heart of C. S. Lewis. Here is a much-needed book that offers a clear and concise overview of Lewis's vision for the Christian life.
Rigney's take on Lewis is appreciative where deserved, critical where necessary, and always insightful in its application." --Trevin Wax, Vice President of Research and Resource Development, North American Mission Board; Visiting Professor, Cedarville University; author, The Thrill of Orthodoxy; Rethink Your Self; and This Is Our Time "A thoughtful, lucid, and beautiful exposition of a magnificent writer. Whether you are relatively new to C. S. Lewis or have read all his books, Joe Rigney will show you ideas and connections that are easily missed, and increase your appreciation for Lewis's insights on the Christian life." --Andrew Wilson, Teaching Pastor, King's Church London "C. S. Lewis's theology is a mix of faithfulness to the creeds, brilliant analogies, rare good sense, and, unfortunately, a few areas of doctrinal weakness.
Joe Rigney's book Lewis on the Christian Life accurately reports Lewis's theology as it relates to practical Christian living. He does an excellent job of bringing out the good sense and carrying on a respectful but critical conversation with Lewis about those shortcomings. The end result is a book that will help you understand Lewis and practice the Christian life. This is a book I'm glad I read and one that you will want to read. I recommend it with enthusiasm." --Donald T. Williams,R. A.
