I read C.S. Lewis books almost exclusively in a stage of my life when I was deciding whether to accept or reject my Catholic faith.
C.S. Lewis' book "Mere Christianity" made an excellent case that Christianity is true, and worthy of belief.
C.S. Lewis was a member of the Anglican Church, so he could not get me all the way to Catholicism.
It is well know that J.R.R. Tolkien, a devout Catholic, had a big influence on converting Lewis from atheist to Christian.
Tolkien was annoyed that Lewis would not take the final step and convert to Catholicism.
It is also well known that Lewis married a divorced woman, which at the time was a violation of the Anglican faith.
But he did it anyway, and left it for God to judge him.
C.S. Lewis also wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, which is a Christian story disguised as a fairy tale.
The killing of Aslan was probably the most horrible thing I've ever seen in a children's book.
