C.S. Lewis Book Review

I received C.S. Lewis compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.

C.S. Lewis: The Boy Who Loved to Ask Big Questions is one of the latest titles in the Do Great Things for God series, and one of the first featuring a male. This book teaches readers about the life and legacy of Clive Staples, often referred to as Jack, who is famous for his beloved The Chronicles of Narnia books. I devoured the Narnia series as a teen and haven’t yet read anything else from Lewis. I didn’t know much about him, so although this book is for kids, I enjoyed what I learned by reading it.

Using rich illustrations, C.S. Lewis takes children through Lewis’ childhood through his interesting testimony—he was saved on a motorcycle on the way to the zoo! His testimony was especially encouraging to me because it demonstrates how God can use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Knowing that he authored Mere Christianity, I’d always assumed he was a theologian. It was fascinating to learn that he was simply faithful to the Lord with the circumstances he’d been given. If you’ve enjoyed reading any of Lewis’ works and/or are wanting to learn more about him, I highly recommend also reading this book!
