The business of heaven - C. S Lewis

"Morals are the 'ropes' and 'axes' necessary for climbing those great
heights from which a greater journey begins. That journey leads to the
'happy land of the Trinity.' It is there that joys, almost unimaginable
in this world, begin. Begin-not end." -from the preface

In The Screwtape Letters,
C.S. Lewis's famous devil derides the Christian year as "The Same Old
Thing." To combat this, Walter Hooper has drawn from Lewis's vast
bibliography, accumulating short meditations that correspond to each day
of the Christian calendar. Hooper has chosen passages that emphasize
Lewis' illuminatingly matter-of-fact approach to religion, with each
entry focused on themes such as "Nearness to God," "Heaven and
Sexuality," or "Two Kinds of Good and Bad." In addition to providing
food for thought, these bite-sized excerpts facilitate a yearlong
journey towards achieving the joy that Lewis wrote is "the serious
business of heaven."

"The point about reading C. S. Lewis is that
he makes you sure, whatever you believe, that religion accepted or
rejected means something extremely serious, demanding the entire energy
of the mind." -Harper's

"A potent anthology." -Los Angeles Times
