Discover great truths from C. S. Lewis’s mentors
C. S. Lewis was perhaps the greatest Christian thinker of the twentieth century. He delighted us in The Chronicles of Narnia, intrigued us in The Screwtape Letters, mystified us in The Space Trilogy, and convinced us in Mere Christianity. His influence on generations of Christians has been immeasurable.
But who influenced C. S. Lewis? What were the sources of his inspiration? Who were his spiritual mentors? Who were his teachers?
Drawn from Lewis’s personal library, annotations, and references from his writings, the selections in this book bring us into contact with giants such as Dante, Augustine, and Chaucer, as well as introduce us to more contemporary writers such as G. K. Chesterton, Charles Williams, George MacDonald, and J. R. R. Tolkien. Over 250 selections provide a vast array of inspiration from those who have shone forth as messengers of light in Lewis’s own thinking, writing, and spiritual growth.
A rare glimpse into the intellectual, spiritual, and creative life of one of literature’s great writers, From the Library of C. S. Lewis is a treasury of insight and wisdom.

From the Library of C. S. Lewis: Selections from Writers Who Influenced His Spiritual Journey (Writers' Palette Book Series)
A friend and I were going to read this book together. Indeed this is an excellent book for that purpose! It is an anthology of authors and writings which most profoundly influenced the great Christian apologist, C. S. Lewis and as such is doubly rich. First, each of the selections can be read and appreciated for and on its own merit and secondly, it can be viewed from the perspective of the influence it had on Lewis and his works.
From the Library of C. S. Lewis consists of almost 200 selections from among the greatest of the great: St. Augustine, Boethius, G. K. Chesterton, Pascal, Brother Lawrence, Samuel Johnson, Thomas Aquinas, and Simone Weil just to name a few. The writers cross all denominations and generations. Lewis was primarily a medieval scholar but his interests and influences were vast. And of course no book about him would be complete without reference to/from the immortal George MacDonald, of which FtLoCSL is replete.
The book is organized into eighteen sections or groupings including the following thought-provoking categories: knowing God; community and loving others; suffering; prayer and contemplation; living the devout life, the life and sacrifice of Christ, etc. It's a perfect book for meditation which is how I've used it but it would also be an excellent primer for any fledgling Lewis scholar.
A fine resource!
