A Life Observed: A Spiritual Biography of C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis is one of the most influential Christian writers of our time. The Chronicles of Narnia has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and all Lewis's works are estimated to sell 6 million copies annually. At the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Lewis expert Devin Brown brings the beloved author's story to life in a fresh, accessible, and moving biography through focusing on Lewis's spiritual journey.
Although it was clear from the start that Lewis would be a writer, it was not always clear he would become a Christian. Drawing on Lewis's autobiographical works, works by those who knew him personally, and his apologetic and fictional writing, this book tells the inspiring story of Lewis's journey from cynical atheist to joyous Christian and challenges readers to follow their own calling. The book allows Lewis to tell his own life story in a uniquely powerful manner while shedding light on his best-known works.

I have no words . . . .
This book was absolutely beautiful and I see C. S. Lewis in a totally different light. (His step-son gives a foreword on the book) I recommend this to anyone who has read C. S. Lewis. It's so eye-opening. And I'm so happy right now!! I can't even express the JOY I feel!! 💕
**Disclaimer** I skim read the whole book for a report.

January 3, 2017Ultimately the biographer spends so much of the page quoting from Lewis's (published) letters and writings that I'd rather read those and draw my own conclusions.

Another valuable book on Lewis, this time focused solely on his spiritual journey. Again, it's mostly a reminder of Lewis facts I already know, but I liked the author's voice and enjoyed this refresher.
In some sense this seemed like a reorganization of pre-existing facts and quotes into a very basic narrative. I'm not sure what the argument is (though I'll let that slide since this is a simple biography). But it fell into an easy and enjoyable rhythm as the author supported his claims by immediately diving into varied parts of Lewis's writing for exemplification.
A great book to hand to any Lewis layman. But still, most books on Lewis nowadays leave me wanting more. Specifically, I wish there was more lengthy analysis of Till We Have Faces in here.
While I've wanted to get my hands on the three volumes of Lewis's letters for a while now, this book strengthened that want!

Why of all the biographies of C.S. Lewis, including his own Surprised By Joy, should you read this biography? That's a fair question but rather than try to answer that outright, I will tell you what I liked about this particular biography.
First, it is a sympathetic biography without being a hagiography. Brown accepts Lewis on his own terms while also recognizing his faults and foibles--particularly his priggishness as a young scholar prior to his conversion. The only place where this might be open to criticism is on the subject of his relationship with Mrs. Moore. Some might think he handled Lewis's relationship with his war-time friend's mother with kid gloves. I'd say he was probably being circumspect with regard to matters open to speculation.
Second, this is a good work of scholarship, which exposes the reader not only to writings they would already know, but also to his correspondence, some of which has only recently been released. We hear Lewis in his own words and see the care with which he writes to friends and total strangers. And Brown does all this in a book of modest length.
Third, Brown explores a motif of Lewis's life, his ideas about Joy throughout his life. One sees a person who not only discovered Joy as a signpost to greater realities, but also one who tremendously enjoyed his life--his scholarship, his friends, his wife, appropriately enough named Joy, and even his last years and the anticipation of his own passing. We follow Lewis from boyhood to his last years, which while punctuated by the death of his mother and of Joy, and a horrendous grammar school experience, was a journey into Joy.
Finally, I appreciated some of the new insights this book brought me into his conversion and the role played by friends like Hugo Dyson and J.R.R. Tolkien. It was also delightful to read Brown's account of the Inklings and the ways Lewis and Tolkien in particular encouraged each other in their writing projects--would we have the Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings otherwise? Likely not.

Prob 25% quotes from his books, but strung together in a way that enlightens reader re beloved’s spiritual growth and development. As ever, touched, strengthened and challenged by him.

Oh Lewis! How can you not love this man?? Brown does an amazing job connecting the dots of Lewis’ life through his own writings or the the writings of those closest to him. In some reviews here people say they don’t like how many Lewis quotes there are, but to me, that’s what makes Brown’s description of what’s going on in his life actually come to life on the page and get the feeling that you’re there experiencing life with Jack himself!
I learned a lot about the man from this book, from his story of coming to faith, to the inspiration and beginning of each of his major works, to his close bond with Warnie his brother and Tolkien his good friend. He was a man of the deepest sort of faith. Not one that one is born into, or accepts due to social familiarity, but one that was thought out, logical, and yet no less magical—in fact, quite the opposite. Most of his religious doubts came when he experienced his deepest grief at the death of his wife, Joy. In a very human way, he records his anguish, sadness, and anger. But with time, he comes to find that many questions he had in the midst of such deep pain needed no clear answers—that God is above it all and that mystery is part of what makes faith so real while not leaving it unaddressed. That is what Lewis does so well.
After reading this, I feel like I’ve got a much more succinct understanding of Lewis’ life, faith, and works. I will say, I didn’t like how Brown skipped around his life in certain parts. A little bit is totally fine for context, but sometimes it felt like there were whole sections where we skipped ahead by 20 years. Also, Brown threw in some of his own plugs that were fine but some were a little annoying.
Still - would definitely read again!

In the last year or so I have read four books on C.S. Lewis, and each time I start one I wonder how I could possibly learn anything I didn't already know, but this author has done an excellent job of showing us more of the spirituality of Lewis than anyone else. It is well worth reading.

I read this book years ago, and I remember it being full of good content but also being really boring for my taste.

I do enjoy it when a biographer has a beef with other biographers within the biography 😁

I was looking forward to reading A Life Observed by Devin Brown, primarily because I had the pleasure of meeting Devin at Taylor University’s Colloquium on C.S. Lewis & Friends in 2012. (One of the many wonderful things about this event is the opportunity to dialogue with other Lewis enthusiasts, scholars, and authors!)
However, having just re-read Surprised by Joy, Lewis's autobiography of sorts, I found the first half of Brown's book to be a bit of a repetitive experience for me as he seems to be summarizing and quoting from it predominantly until chapter five. Yet, Devin does a fine job of illuminating areas Lewis did not write about in his book.
He does this primarily through various letters written by Lewis over the course of his life, along with correspondence about him by friends and family, such as J.R.R. Tolkien and his brother, Warnie. The Pilgrim’s Regress and A Grief Observed are two additional autobiographical works which Devin explores. He also points out examples in Letters to Malcolm and The Screwtape Letters that would seem to give us even further insights into Lewis’s own spiritual journey. Because of these added sources, I enjoyed the second half of the book far more than the first half.
I also appreciate that unlike some biographies on Lewis that may seem to lack heart, leaving them stale and dry, A Life Observed is truly engaging and full of the life of Jack. Or as Douglas Gresham wrote in the forward, of the numerous biographies that have been written, “some of them are very good books about Jack, but – here’s the rub – Jack is not in them.” Then, about Devin’s book, Gresham writes, “I grew up with Jack as my guide. This real Jack whom I knew walks the pages of this book.” I can’t think of much higher praise than that!
Overall, it was well written, enjoyable to read, and I will most likely read it again in the future.

Judging from what I found on the shelves of my local library, there has been about one new biography of C.S. Lewis written every other year since 2000. I've read none of them until this one (written in 2013, the 50th anniversary of the year of Lewis' death), but I believe I know enough about Lewis to surmise that he would be either astonished or appalled (or both) to know that that much paper was expended on his life.
In my view, the essential biographical works about C.S. Lewis are "Jack," written by George Sayer in 1988 (and the only book I own that was signed by its author), "The Letters of C.S. Lewis" (the earlier compilation; not the entire four volumes that has since come out) and his own "Surprised by Joy."
It might be worth inserting here that Lewis' friends and family always called him Jack, never Clive, even though Clive was his name.
"A Life Observed" wouldn't make my essentials list, but I don't regret reading it. The author does a particularly good job of showing how themes from Lewis' life work their way into his books. Example: I knew that Lewis had unfortunate experiences in schools, and I knew that schools come off badly in the Narnia Chronicles, but I never really connected the two before.
Reading "A Life Observed" also has led me to think it's time to reread all of Lewis' works that I own, and I own most of them. This time, I'm going to try to read them in the order he wrote them, starting with "A Pilgrim's Regress."
I think my favorite moment in "A Life Observed" is when the author talks about the week he spent in the Kilns, the Lewis homestead near Oxford, while leading a seminar. He writes: "I got to sleep in Jack's bedroom -- as far as I can tell, the thing I have done in my life which has most impressed my mother."

A thoroughly researched and convincing book. I am a big fan of C.S. Lewis and was eager to read this biography of the interesting spiritual journey that led Lewis back to God and Christianity. The book does not disappoint. The author Dr. Devin Brown uses Lewis's fictional works, non fiction, and private letters as well as correspondence about him by others (like Lewis's brother, Warnie, and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien). What emerges is a clear picture of Jack (as C.S. Lewis was known to family and friends) and the lifelong evolving relationship he had with faith. An inspiring and moving biography.

A lovingly written book about C.S.Lewis and his journey to becoming a Christian. The author doesn't dwell on any occurrences in Lewis's life but rather the reaction of Lewis and how it relates to his journey. As a child Lewis believed in God, though a more frightening one. He later went through many other beliefs, even atheism. I did not know anything of Lewis's life and have never read any of his works, however I will now. He was a sensitive man, filled with wonder. The book portrays him this way and at the end of it you are glad to have met him.

I got this on Hoopla on a whim because it was a Bonus Borrow. I thought that it sounded interesting, but I kept putting off listening to it. For some reason I thought it might be boring. I was very wrong. I would read this again, and probably appreciate it even more than I did this time.

Brown claims to be presenting a fresh perspective, when in actuality this bio is very vanilla.
May 15, 2022
Felt a little like a college paper regurgitating Lewis’s memoir and adding thematic quotes from his other works.
November 12, 2021
In preparation for watching a new film about the journey of C.S. Lewis from atheist to Christianity, I read Lewis's autobiographical "Surprised by Joy" and Devin Brown's spiritual biography "A Life Observed." At the risk of committing literary heresy, I thought "Surprised by Joy" was a drab, unfocused mess, composed of a handful of sporadic nuggets of profound insight, surrounded and overwhelmed by many pages of uninteresting details about the early parts of his life. How such a magnificent writer and captivating storyteller would write such a lousy book about his own life, I will never know. But along came Devin Brown to the rescue.
What Brown did was extricate those substantive but elusive paragraphs from "Surprised by Joy" as the primary moorings of his biography of Lewis, while eliminating all of the unnecessary detail. Upon that foundation, he then filled in the gaps with numerous anecdotes, snippets, and quotes from the thousands of letters that Lewis wrote, as well as letters written by his brother, Warnie, and observations from friends and colleagues. What emerges is an engaging, enlightening, fascinating tale of the spiritual journey of Lewis.
"A Life Observed" was, in many ways, the delight that I had hoped "Surprised by Joy" would be, a revealing and beautiful window into the life, mind, and spirit of my favorite author and the most profoundly influential thinker and spiritual mentor in my own life and ministry. Brown's research was exhaustive, his writing style was accessible and cohesive, and this book represents a helpful and meaningful addition to the already-massive litany of Lewis biographies. If anyone asks me for a recommendation of a book about the life of C.S. Lewis, this one will be my very first suggestion and one that I expect will be an ongoing point of reference for me in the future.

Brown offers a highly readable and informative encomium to Lewis, his hero and model of faithful Christian thought and scholarship. The bulk of the text follows closely Lewis' own autobiographical account in *Surprised by Joy*, with expansion especially from Lewis' letters and published writings. The last chapters of the book hew close to Lewis' letters and biographical references throughout his other books. The focus of the book is Lewis' pathway away from, toward, and finally into robust, orthodox Christian discipleship. Brown helpfully traces the development of Lewis' childhood faith, his adolescent "fall" into atheist materialism, and his arduous climb toward "mere" Christianity in his 20s. Brown offers one of the better accounts I've seen analyzing his subject's conversions from naturalist materialism to pantheistic idealism to theism to orthodox Christianity (that is, in his full acceptance of such doctrines as the divinity of Jesus Christ and the reality of eternal life). Brown well understands the challenges and obscurities North Americans encounter when trying to understand the often revered, often reviled Oxford-Cambridge don, fantasy novelist, and Christian apologist, and he ably addresses these enigmas -- the idiosyncracies of the mid-century British academic system, for example. Brown's glowing profile borders on hagiography, making this work something slightly different from a full critical biography. But his excellent close reading of primary texts, his judicious use of secondary testimony and background sources, and his lucid prose make this a very solid introduction to Lewis' life and thought, especially for a general readership.

The subject is absolutely fascinating, and I did appreciate the tight focus on C.S. Lewis' spiritual life, but the writing felt like a college student stringing together quote after quote after quote to pad out his term paper because he had nothing of substance to say himself. When the author bestirs himself to do more than quote or paraphrase Lewis' writings, it's usually to put down other biographies of Lewis. The target audience for this book is all over the place. Is he writing to people who know nothing about Lewis and just happened to pick up this book? Hardcore fans of his writing? People who can't be expected to know a single thing about the plots of his Narnia books? People who are familiar with the broad shape of his life story already? The age of his intended reader is similarly unclear. Brown chooses simplistic prose and over-explains, as if he is writing to children, but includes enough references to sex (when there's no compelling reason to) to make most Christian parents with kids of Narnia reading age uncomfortable.
Mainly, this book convinced me I REALLY need to read Surprised By Joy

I've never read more than an outline of CS Lewis's life so this was a very interesting read. Mr. Brown draws on Lewis's letters and books to outline the path he took from unbelief to becoming one of the foremost defenders of the Christian faith. Very informative. It also caused me to reflect on my own walk with God and see the parallels and the steps I still need to take.
Lewis was a very accomplished person and wrote on a variety of topics using multiple different genres. And I've often wondered at how he responded to so many people who wrote to him. Why would such an important author take time to respond to so many fans? Mr. Brown shares that for Lewis it was a ministry: he wanted to provide the Christian guidance that was missing in his early years.
I feel like I understand Lewis much better now, and I will also look for the joyful moments in my life. If anyone among you is happy, let him sing Psalms...

Other reviews state that this is a bad book because it is so quote-heavy that it can read more like a research paper than a book. However, the authors carefully constructed timeline and fact gathering is perfect for readers who are looking for another version of Lewis’ biography as told through the lens of his spiritual development. It could be somewhat circular at times or quoted the same line/quote multiple times, but on the whole it was an interesting biography that worked through Lewis’ journey through his letters, journals, and friends.
May 20, 2023
I really enjoyed this book. It is conservative in the sense that it sticks close to the primary source data about Lewis and doesn't get into speculation about stuff we don't know. In that way, the first part is basically a commentary on Lewis's spiritual autobiography 'Surprised by Joy'. Since that book basically only covers Lewis's life up through his conversion, the rest of this book comments on Lewis's letters and books like 'Answers to Questions on Christianity', 'The Screwtape Letters', 'Mere Christianity' and 'The Problem of Pain'.
October 20, 2018
Not exactly a “typical” biography, although it does follow CSL’s life in a fairly chronological trajectory. Brown works to weave Lewis’ own writings into his spiritual development, somewhat retrospectively. He depends primarily on Surprised by Joy, but utilizes Narnia/Screwtape/Grief Observed frequently too. Although mentioned, very little is explored reference his life with Mrs. Moore, his professional setbacks at Oxford, or his relationship with the Inklings.

Devin Brown gives us a different perspective in terms of a biography by concentrating on the religious background of C. S. Lewis and the spiritual progress that brought him to the point of embracing the Christian faith. It is a fascinating approach and a good read. I certainly recommend this to you.
August 4, 2019
I've read many books over the last few years which I've enjoyed, but few, if any, that have left me a feeling of satisfaction and quiet joy. A Life Observed is not a biography, but rather a spiritual biography of the esteemed CS Lewis. It presents the story of how Lewis came to faith and how that faith transformed his thinking, his writing, and his life.
September 15, 2021
I went into this book only knowing a little about cs lewis, but I went away with a deeper love and appreciation of cs lewis. I loved browns nontraditional approach in putting passages of lewis works in telling the story of his life. It made the journey more funny and relatable. Definitely going to be reading more of lewis and his works. Thankful for his impact in influencing christian thought.

October 6, 2022There were things I learned about CS Lewis, but I had to stop listening because it was driving me nuts that the reader was reading all the references and it cut into the narrative too much. I'd like to one day go back and actually read a hard copy of this book where I can skim and skip over all of the footnote and bibliography references.
December 27, 2023
This lovely book offers an authentic look into the life of C.S. Lewis through his writings. Also, this book looks at the life of C.S. Lewis from a more thoughtful approach, giving glimpses into who Lewis was as a person. I recommend this book to anyone who loves reading Lewis' books in general. I'm giving this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
