How to get to the true faith? This question is not really too simple answer. Everyone surely has to go its own way of knowing God. Sometimes it is simple, sometimes dotted with various obstacles. One of the leading authorities in the field of religion, CS Lewis has decided to introduce readers to his own way, which is certainly not one of the easiest. He did this in his autobiography Fri Surprised by joy- my early years
Early life probably crucial for everyone. This period of education and initial experience in every area of \u200b\u200blife. A force to Lewis was not at all too gracious. Very soon lost his mother. Passed through successive stages of education, which also were not easy. In his autobiography, Lewis describes the great English schools of his time. And the complicated relations in the then prevailing schools. English writer meets on the way many teachers who shaped his later views. Also, those on religion. An even greater impact on those views are not literature, to which Lewis never parted. Accompanied him everywhere and always, even in wartime trenches. Lewis not only reads but also writes. From an early age, together with his brother, creates a magical land called boxen.
surely an exaggeration to say would be that Lewis lost his faith entirely. But surely not for nothing that was hailed as an apostle to skeptics. Its extremely developed from an early age the intellect could not accept the image of God, wtrącającego in every sphere of human life. So the mind has chosen to rebel against this God. Lewis ran his internal struggle over many years, given from time to time new ideas. But in the end he was forced to capitulate. "In the end, what is so very afraid, has become a reality. In the summer semester of 1929 years I gave up, I realized that God is God, fell on his knees and began to pray. I was probably the evening's most depressed and reluctant neophyte in England. " book Surprised by joy is a journey through youth eminent English writer. This description of his life experience and still changing views. With this item, readers not only to better know the author, but also the times in which he lived. Lewis also shows how important it was for literature. The real pride of the book are quotes his favorite authors included at the beginning of each chapter. Here is one of the best examples: "The first principle is hell-exist for itself," author of those words is a Scottish writer George MacDonald. I rather not download this author Lewis quoted in the chapter on his conversion. Macdonald was, because for the true authority, and his book certainly helped him find the way back to God. Finally, only recommend the most recent, well-delivered publication publisher Esprit. It is because the original definition to know the joy that has created a great English writer. I see what she looked like his own path to faith. Because the same faith to fulfill his later life and all creation. And we met thanks to the writer of all time!
