This book by an American minister in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) seeks to give an overview of the thinking and teaching of C.S. Lewis on a wide range of subjects.
There are 25 chapters, covering not only specifically theological topics such as 'Prayer', 'Scripture', 'Creation', 'Fall' and 'The Sacraments', but also wider areas of thought (albeit with a theological slant) such as 'The Tao', 'Men are from Mars', 'I am the King's Man' and 'War and Peace'. The book contains a foreword by Douglas Gresham, adopted son of C.S. Lewis, with whom the author is now working in Ireland.
