The Shadow-Lands of C.S. Lewis: The Man Behind the Movie

Following up the success of the acclaimed movie on C. S. Lewis Shadowlands, this book is the ideal volume for those who want to know more about Lewis and the writings of this great Christian author. Peter Kreeft, a best-selling author in his own right–and one who acknowledges a great personal debt to Lewis–selects and introduces some of Lewis’ best-loved works.

Having studied, written about and taught Lewis’ writings for years, Kreeft has been able to select and introduce the best of Lewis’ vast and varied writings for the benefit of the reader. Kreeft has edited and organized Lewis’ writings around the central themes of the movie: Earth (the shadow-lands), Joy (the mysterious longing), Heaven (the land from whih the shadows fall), the Golden Key (how to reach the land of light), and the Problem of Pain. Kreeft also includes the fantasy of George MacDonald (Lewis’ acknowledged master) from which the idea of Shadow-lands was derived. For Lewis-lovers, and those who are curious about the man behind the movie, this book will be illuminating and inspiring.
