A Severe Mercy [UNABRIDGED]

Information on A Severe Mercy from the publisher:

Beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death.

Description of Sheldon Vanauken, author of A Severe Mercy:

This is poetic autobiography tracing Sheldon and Jean (Davy) Vanauken's love and their intense searchy for Christian faith. At Oxford they met C.S. Lewis and, through his influence, became Christians. Then Jean contracted a mysterious illness. What follows is a forceful and moving account of hope and sorrow. Lewis's letters illustrate the hand of God..."working all things together for good to those who love Him." Vanauken's descriptions of love and beauty border on the sublime. A warning to our listener: Listening to this book may cause blurred vision. Even our reader was interrupted by a fresh flow of tears. Unabridged. Read by Peter Kjenaas. 6 cassettes. 9 hours.
