Reviews

<p> McGrath is ingenious and persuasive in searching Lewis's writings for clues to his private life ... [A] devoted and meticulous biography. ( The Times Literary Supplement , 21 June 2013)<p> Alister McGrath's biography of C.S. Lewis was an incredible exploration of one of the greatest minds in the history of Christian thought. I've always enjoyed reading Lewis because of the way he explains concepts in a way that is refreshing and inspiring. I found McGrath to have that kind of way with words in his exploration of Lewis' life. He takes the exploration a step further in a new companion book to the Lewis biography, THE INTELLECTUAL WORLD OF C.S. LEWIS. ( Tom Farr Reviews , 1 June 2013)
