Information on The Most Reluctant Convert from the publisher:
Other biographies of Lewis explore his childhood or his dramatic conversion to Christianity. But it was the rarely discussed period from Lewis's childhood to his early thirties that took him on a tumultuous journey of spiritual and intellectual exploration before he became the "most reluctant convert." It was not despite this journey but precisely because of it that Lewis understood the search for life's ultimate meaning so well and went on to become one of the most compelling authors of the twentieth century. Weaving the people, places and events of Lewis's life together with excerpts from Lewis's own writing, this book reveals how Lewis's spiritual quest can cast light on the path for other pilgrims.
Description of David C. Downing, author of The Most Reluctant Convert:
(PUBInterVarsity)Much has been written about Lewis's childhood and his post-conversion life and thought, but less is known about those years in between, which, according to Downing, give us clues as to his religious longings and deep inner search---experiences that forged the basis for his powerful apologetics. 180 pages, hardcover.
