Seeking the Secret Place : The Spiritual Formation of C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis is perhaps the most beloved modern Christian author. From The Chronicles of Narnia to Mere Christianity, his works have enthralled readers of all ages. Yet, though numerous books have been written about Lewis's life and his dramatic conversion to Christianity, none have asked the important question of how he grew spiritually. Lyle Dorsett sets out to answer that question in Seeking the Secret Place. Drawing on Lewis's books, letters, and interviews with his contemporaries, Dorsett reveals how Lewis's faith grew on a steady diet of Scripture, prayer, and the sacraments--not only to show how his faith developed but to encourage readers on the path to spiritual growth. C. S. Lewis fans and anyone looking to grow spiritually will value this book.

Lyle W. Dorsett is the Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University. He is former director of the Wade Center at Wheaton College and author of numerous books, including A Love Observed (a biography of Lewis's wife, Joy Davidson). Dorsett also edited The Essential C. S. Lewis and coedited C. S. Lewis: Letters to Children.
