DescriptionThe central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this. This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C.S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in His creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds and makes out an impressive case for the irrationality of their assumptions by positing: "Those who assume that miracles cannot happen are merely wasting their time by looking into the texts: we know in advance what results they will find for they have begun by begging the question." - from Miracles…

He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, and comes to some significant realizations about the nature of good and evil.
DescriptionIn a series of letters, the infernal senior devil Screwtape instructs his nephew and future successor Wormwood in the arts of temptation. Screwtape presides over a highly organized, high-tech Hell, and he trains Wormwood to lead Christians away from God's path gradually through mundane temptations, rather than sudden sins. C.S. Lewis's most famous work is outwardly funny as well as provocative, as the devil's perspective helps us gain insight into our own morality and temptations.
