I've been working my way through this. Besides the "Narnia" series, it's the first C.S. Lewis book I've read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I feel like every review of Lewis nonfiction for me could be the same: it takes some work, but it's worth it.
You can trust Lewis to build (and build and build) an argument in a way that is logical, philosophical, and tongue-in-cheek and then bring you to a conclusion that has you more sure than ever of Christ and God's goodness.
This book was written 84 years ago, but its message is timeless.

“Not many years ago when I was an atheist, if anyone had asked me, ‘Why do you not believe in God?‘ my reply would have run something like this: ‘Look at the universe we live in.‘”

This book is exactly what I need right now. Thanks for putting it on my radar @IndoorDame

IndoorDame I‘m so happy it‘s speaking to you! 5mo
Sace @IndoorDame it feels good intellectually and physically (by that I mean I love the way it feels in my hand: perfect size and weight….shallow, I know but it is enhancing the reading). 5mo
IndoorDame @Sace I always love it when books pay attention to how much that will enhance the reading! And this one really does have a nice feel :) 5mo

An exploration of the idea that most of us at least of Jewish/Christian/Muslim backgrounds have come to think of god as a “big person” and why this is problematic for many in the modern world, but that there are many other metaphors for the divine. This explores some of them, primarily from the Torah, but also with a view to cultures around the world. And how they may apply to modern life.

IndoorDame I definitely had criticisms as I read this, but it also really spoke to me. My deepest takeaways are perhaps tangential to the author‘s central message But I like that. I think it shows there‘s actually a lot to hidden in this deceptively simple book. I‘m also trying out one of her practice ideas, and will reach for this in the future when I‘m looking for others. 6mo
