Details: I usually know when my husband is asleep when he drops his book, which usually lands on my head. As he climbed in bed with this HUGE text-book sized book, he said to me, "Been nice knowin' ya."
It's neat to have all CS Lewis' books together in one place, but this thing really is huge. Too heavy to hold to read comfortably unless you're at a desk and it's laying flat. Or maybe if you're sitting up and it can lay in your lap. But for snuggly bedtime reading, no go. (Except it will put you to sleep since it takes so much concentration to understand Lewis' deepth of thinking.)

Details: I have not finished reading the whole thing, but I have read three of the books included already. This man was a genius.
Review Summary: Undated Truth
Date: 2008-10-06
Details: C.S. Lewis writes not about trends or fads that come and go, he writes about truth that is as applicable today as the day he wrote it. If you're searching for truth, or just trying to make sense of it all, I highly recommend the Signature Classics
Review Summary: All the best of this legendary author and theologian
Date: 2008-10-02
Details: I've always loved the Narnia series and had read the Screwtape Letters, but had never read C.S. Lewis's other famous works. This is a wonderful collection of his best work. I have loved every one and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing God through another perspective. Based on Biblical truth, but not "preachy," he gives us a glimpse into God's nature and His relationship with us. Not exactly an easy read (definitely not a "beach book"), but the message is crystal clear.
