"Just finished the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was great. I had known the story was taken from points of the Christian gospel, and only having seen the movie a dozen times, I had decided to read the book to see how exactly C.S. Lewis did so. Remembering this is only a fairytale meant for his goddaughter, there is obvious things in the story that I don't see in relation to Christian doctrine. Good read though" Feb 16, 2022 04:34AM

C.S. Lewis
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis
“The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career. ”
C.S. Lewis

Martin Luther
“This life therefore is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness, not health, but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished, but it is going on, this is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified.”
Martin Luther

C.S. Lewis
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
C.S. Lewis
