I wish to understand this position clearer partially because CS Lewis is one of my favorites as well as the Narnia series. (I read them every year.) I wonder about your thought process and reasons behind how you feel. Let me know please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not her thing. Sometimes, it's just a matter of personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they are excellent stories they just didn't do it for me. C.S. Lewis in general however, I have nothing but praise for. Mere Christianity is quite possibly my favourite book and I recommend it to EVERYONE. I think every human on this planet should read that (probably twice to make sure it gets through). Lewis is a genius and his books are a comfort at times, I just don't care about Narnia so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all have different tastes and preferences (which we should show grace to one another for). But it's annoying (and legalistic) when people attempt to question his salvation and go on a witch hunt in order to get others to hold their same view.
