The Most Reluctant Convert: C. S. Lewis's Journey to Faith

Information on The Most Reluctant Convert from the publisher:

David Downing offers a unique look at Lewis's personal journey to faith and the profound influence it had on his life as a writer and eventual follower of Christ. Most 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. It was not despite this journey but precisely because of it that Lewis understood the search for life's ultimate meaning so well. Weaving the people, places and events of Lewis's life together with excerpts from Lewis's own writings, Downing 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:

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. 192 pages, softcover.
