C S Lewis is a deep thinking, introspective, and logical writer. He doesn't preach to the reader, but rather guides the reader through the matter of Christianity in a way that helps the reader to better understand God's work in man and man's need for God. Further, he reasons that there is considerable evidence of not only His existence, but also of His intricate workings in man's life. A perfect book for anyone who is not sure what to believe about God, or His desire for a personal relationship with each person in Earth.

The Business of Heaven is an excellent book from many of CS Lewis's writings. Thought-provoking for my daily devotionals.

I really thought I would love this book. The idea of daily snippets of C. S. Lewis' writings and fantastic quotes seemed like it would make for a favorite of the many of his books that I own but as he is a little 'long-winded' sometimes (understatement), it doesn't really work as intended. There are ideas that he has presented in other books (Mere Christianity, just to name one) that will encompass three or four days worth of readings. This is not a problem in any other way than it doesn't suit single day readings. I loved 'Mere Christianity' and have read it multiple times and think this book will, if nothing else, lead to interest in his other fantastic books and lectures.

M. · January 2, 2013

As part of my time with God each day, I have a spiritual diet of Bible reading, memorization, and then books on theology/sermons/biographies of men of God, etc. I also like to do small daily snippets of devotionals, quotes, readings, so on and so forth.The book that I have used for this section of my devotionals the past year is The Business of Heaven, by C. S. Lewis. Now, to be clear on this, Lewis never wrote this book as such. The book is a collection of the man's writings, one for each day of the year, plus a small separate group of selections for the special "movable feasts and fasts" of the Episcopal Calendar. This way, every day and most special religious observances, have such a reading to commemorate them.Really, these selections are more like "thoughts of the day" that are taken from Lewis' writings. To their credit, the editors put real work into the book. Each reading really does encapsulate a thought or an idea that is Scripturally-based. While it is true that I found myself disagreeing once or twice with Lewis' perspective, it was on an issue that pertained to doctrinal or historical interpretation. In other words, an issue that Christians have debated for the past two millennia, and will debate until Our Lord returns, in all likelihood.Lewis was known for some more wacky views upon salvation, though they became increasingly orthodox as he studied the Scriptures more. None of the more wacky ones are here. This is not a "study" in Lewis, or a book drawing attention to Lewis, but a book of Lewis' quotes designed to do what he himself wanted done with his works, to draw attention to Our Wondrous God.Highly Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars It’s CS Lewis! What more needs to be said!

M. · February 5, 2020

I just love CS Lewis’!What I particularly like about this book is it includes passages from various lectures and writings I not found in other published material:“ Selected literary essays; God in the dock; letters to Malcolm ” as well as thoughts from Screwtape Letters; Surprised by Joy and more readily titles. Wonderful book!

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be excited to read each day's meditation

S.W. · April 15, 2014

Fair warning: Every bite of Lewis' writing makes you long for more. Addictive, yes! Each of these daily readings will grab you and keep you thinking (and looking to God) long after you've put the book down. That is a perfect example of what every Christian writer hopes for: That God's Spirit will inhabit your words and bring them to life in the hearts and minds of readers. Lewis is the one writer who always leaves me stunned and awed and whispering thanks to the God who is The Word.

I love all things C.S. Lewis, and this is a wonderful sampling of his work that can complement morning or evening bible study. I tend to read his works too quickly, so I appreciate these carefully parceled out daily readings which have a way of sinking into your mind (and long-term memory) more fully.

A wonderful present

B.D. · May 22, 2013

I love C. S. Lewis. His Christian faith and immense knowledge and scholarship make his writing compelling. I bought this because I'd just given my last copy away and wanted to have one in the house (I'll probably give this one away too!)
