In this remarkable recording, C. S. Lewis shows why millions of readers have acclaimed him the greatest spokesman for Christianity in the 20th century. In a resonant, baritone voice, Lewis explores the nature of the four Greek words that are translated love in English: storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (sexual or romantic love) and agape (selfless love).

Story
Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man - or at any rate a man like me - out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself."

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below".

"The 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."

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man remains one of C. S. Lewis's most controversial works. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the ongoing importance and relevance of universal objective values, such as courage and honor, and the foundational necessity of natural law. He also makes a cogent case that a retreat from these pillars of our educational system, even if in the name of "scientism", would be catastrophic. National Review lists it as number seven on their "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century".

Have we been taught to discount the veracity and deeper meaning of our emotional resonance with the world around us? In The Abolition of Man, C.S.

In the form of warm, relaxed letters to a close friend, C. S. Lewis meditates on many puzzling questions concerning the intimate dialogue between man and God. He considers practical and metaphysical aspects of prayer, such as when we pray and where. He questions why we seek to inform God in our prayers if he is omniscient, whether there is an ideal form of prayer, and which of our many selves we show to God while praying.

Deep, but longer than necesssary
Would you consider the audio edition of Surprised by Joy to be better than the print version?
Yes. I never would have made it through the print version. The narrator made it somewhat easier to get through the first ten chapters to the meaty part of the book.
What did you like best about this story?
Chapter 11. That chapter was what I was looking for - encouragement and a real discussion of God's role in joy as well as the difference between true joy and anything else.
What about Ralph Cosham’s performance did you like?
He read with a beautiful and natural cadence. I have liked other narrators better, but he did justice to the book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
C.S. Lewis' journey from a depressed victim of bullying to a joyous Christian.
Any additional comments?
If you're like me and you're looking for a real explanation of joy and how and where to get it - just read chapter 11.
If you're looking for an excellent treatment of the effects of bullying at home and at school, as well as an excellent treatment of how sports, games, and other forced activities in the public school system can foster bullying, read chapters 1-10.
If you want an explanation of how war influenced the thought and spiritual life of C.S. Lewis, read chapter 12.
If you want to know what C.S. Lewis read, and thus what influenced his thought life, read the entirety of the book.
I have read other non-fiction works of C.S. Lewis that I liked better, but I will probably listen to chapter 11 again. It was worth the read for that chapter.

Very Compelling And Enjoyable Listening
What did you love best about Surprised by Joy?
Hearing the details of Lewis' early life and his almost accidental conversion to Christianity.
What other book might you compare Surprised by Joy to and why?
Lewis' "A Grief Observed," as both give you insight into Lewis' life: one his early life and conversion, the other his crisis of faith and grief over the death of his wife.
What does Ralph Cosham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Cosham is a very excellent reader, and his inflections and overall delivery exude his thorough familiarity with the text. For me, this made listening to the audiobook a superior experience to my just plodding through the text on my own.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Lewis' comment regarding finding a friend: something like, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Any additional comments?
A must for Lewis lovers.

Not what I expected
3 stars as autobiography; 5 stars as beautifully written book about a spiritual journey, excellently narrated
If you want to read about CS Lewis, better try Alan Jacobs' The Narnian or other bio.
If you want to read CS Lewis the Christian apologist describe selected aspects of his boyhood and adolescence up to his early adulthood conversion (in beautiful and often humorous prose), download this. I think even those who take no interest in Lewis but who are interested in social history of the first half of 19th century Britian would find this a valuable listen.
If you are unfamiliar with the British school system or don't have a nodding acquaintance with schools of philosophy and major Brit Lit figures of the early 19th century, reading a bio such as Jacobs' first will make this a much more rewarding listen.
I wish that Lewis had lived to write a more complete autobiography. He selected "selectively" experiences that drew him toward the source of joy. His silence on others leaves the listener longing for a more complete travelogue of his journey.

Satisfied by Joy!
If you want to know about the man - C.S. Lewis - this is the book you want. His reluctant journey to faith is fascinating. The narrator, Geoffrey Howard, is perhaps the best I've ever heard. If the institutional church makes your skin crawl, but the idea of knowing God is more palatable, then you'll find a friend in Lewis.

Lewis is always great!
C. S. Lewis is one of the most thought-provoking writers in recent years. In this book, he tells about his early life and how it shaped his intellectual and spiritual later life. This was the one book of his I had not read, and am grateful to have heard it. It is not an easy listen...you have to pay attention. I went back and listened to some parts again, or grabbed my print copy and re-read for myself. That said, however, it has added to my appreciation of Lewis's writings to know where he came from. Well worth the listen!

Splendid! 5/5
This is a remarkably good book; namely for the psychological insight it provides as to what experiences etc made up a man such as Lewis was, the intrigue of the narrative itself and for the pearls of philosophical and theological wisdom scattered throughout (but more so near the end).
In my experiences of autobiographies, however, it was quite unusual. I say this partly because Lewis spent such a large proportion of the book speaking about his inner life, and comparatively little about the world around him. Hence I would have appreciated more information about the world around him, although I do believe the extent to which he spoke introspectively was genuine - because of his introverted, inward looking nature (which he does mention). Furthermore, because (in my opinion) he was so intellectual, much of the book focuses on his intellectual movement between philosophies and worldviews and his ultimate decision to accept God and Christ, rather than more day to day, concrete going-ons.
So summise, it seemed to me to be an insightful, somewhat enigmatic, unusual but generally interesting part-autobiography (it only speaks of his early life).
I would recommend you read it if you, 1) enjoy Lewis, 2) are exploring your worldview, philosophy/faith 3) enjoy autobiographies.

C.S. Lewis is amazing
Not only does my vocabulary improve when I read C.S. Lewis, but I learn things about myself I hadn't been able to verbalize before. This account of his journey to Christianity is masterfully told. At the end I wanted to hear more about his developing relationship with God . But I will read his other books to find that. I am a better person and better Christian for having read this book.

Surprised by the journey!
What did you like most about Surprised by Joy?
I was first introduced to C S Lewis by 2 friends, separately. The title, Mere Christianity, was both an eye opener and a mind opener. Of course, I was minded to enjoy it anyway, being a Christian myself, but he was an intellectual Christian - a novelty to me - and I was amazed! I would highly recommend that book to everyone, Theists and Atheists alike.
This book, Surprised by Joy, is a semi autobiographical telling of how Lewis went from a childish belief in God, to Materialism, Atheism, the Occult & other isms, to Christianity. It makes for very interesting reading. I had only intended to read a couple of chapters tonight, instead I read the whole book! Impressive how he gained his acceptance of God through his extensive perusal of the classics!
What other book might you compare Surprised by Joy to, and why?
If you haven't read it already, your next title to follow this one should be, Mere Christianity, Lewis's Apologetics book! It makes great reading and is Christianity for intellectuals.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Discovering God Through The Classics!
Any additional comments?
Since my first introduction to C S LEWIS, I have read and re-read many of his Christian books. I will always re-read Mere Christianity twice a year. He had also written an essay called "The Trouble With X". You must read it, it's about you!

A truly interesting first act of CS Lewis
To hear the people and friends he speaks of an know so many of them were important to the literary and intellectual world. This is a very honest telling of his early education and life at school. To understand the sordid though excepted nature of public schools life and know that so many men survived school as they survived war never to speak of either again. I am thankful for the work Mr Lewis has left behind and hope many will chance upon his books and the wisdom within. Why his books aren’t in every school curriculum is a travesty.
