all-time favorite!

C.S. Lewis' "weight of glory" is a MUST-READ! It is amazingly profound. I didn't care for some of the other articles in this book (i.e. some of the "On Forgiveness" article seemed odd), but the first article is fantastically deep and rich. I've re-read it probably 30 times over the years. I...

The Weight of Glory is the title piece in a collection of addresses that C.S. Lewis gave to various audiences. Some were sermons in churches; others were addressed to academic or professional audiences. Regardless of their context, all rank as excellent theological discourses. It is not...

Enlightening

The Weight of Glory is actually only one of nine addresses compiled within this work. While it certainly deserves its position as the leading address and as the compilation's title, each of the included addresses illuminate their intended subject with that inspiration and clarity common of Lewis....

The Essay "The Inner Ring" moved my youngest daughter from the margins of middle school to its social center. Six years ago when she was in the sixth grade, we talked several times about a group of three girls that were the most popular in her school. Because she was so curious about the...

Classic Perceptive Lewis

This book is actually a collection of essays. Lewis addresses various things such as, the glory of man as being a reflection of the glory of God, why he is not a pacifist (where he gives some pretty strong moral, biblical, and sensible arguments), speaking in tongues and various spiritual gifts...

Vintage CSL

I agree that this collection is often overlooked when considering the best works of CS Lewis. Among the essays, my personal favorites are Weight of Glory and Transposition. I highly recommend this book.

Great Reading

There is a jacket blurb on The Weight of Glory from John Updike, who comments on both the comfort and pleasure afforded by Lewis. Neither should be underestimated. This is great devotional writing but it is also great writing, writing that is typified by Lewis' ability to deal with the...
