书籍介绍

This autobiography of C.S.Lewis's early life, focusing on the spiritual crisis which was to determine the shape of his entire life, now repackaged and rebranded as a key title in the C.S. Lewis Signature Classics range. "In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God!perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." Thus C.S. Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion in his famous autobiography. Lewis was for many years an atheist, and in Surprised by Joy he vividly describes the spiritual quest which eventually convinced him of the truth and reality of the Christian faith.

In this book Lewis tells of his search for joy, a spiritual journey that led him from the Christianity of his early youth into atheism and then back to Christianity.

surprised by joy, impatient as the wind ~ Wordsworth
读Gibbon的Memoirs时,想起这本书。“The Great Knock”一章读过很多遍。Lewis在其中写到他在Bookham的一天是怎么度过的,令人向往。他说,以后的生活中像这样理想的日子很少。原来大家都有这样的good old days。
It matters more that Heaven should exist than that we should ever get there. 天堂的存在甚至比我们能否到达那里更要紧。 And we will be at Jerusalem.
