Just wanted to know what some of you think of him and his writings? I personally think he is an awesome writer and states a lot of valid points in his writings. Although a lot of his stuff I have to read over and over to understand it's totally worth. I love how he's not like the average christian who just states that "God is real because he's real". He went into depth with many of the questions that we have about God. What do some of you think?
 
C.S. Lewis was a very remarkable person.

Lewis was a close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings. Both authors were leading figures in the English faculty at Oxford University and in the informal Oxford literary group known as the "Inklings". According to his memoir Surprised by Joy, Lewis had been baptised in the Church of Ireland at birth, but fell away from his faith during his adolescence. Owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, at about the age of 30, Lewis returned to Christianity, becoming "a very ordinary layman of the Church of England". His conversion had a profound effect on his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.

Lewis's works have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold millions of copies over the years. The books that comprise The Chronicles of Narnia have sold the most and have been popularised on stage, in TV, in radio, and in cinema.

Lewis died following a heart attack, one week before what would have been his 65th birthday. Media coverage of his death was minimal, as he died on 22 November 1963 - the same day that President Kennedy of the United States of America was assassinated.
