Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-03 00:00:00 Naveed Wali A very readable introduction to the theology of C.S. Lewis. Of note for me was the section on Lewis' views on the soul, particularly his concept of purgatory, which I think is explored in The Great Divorce. Lewis looks at I Peter 3:19-20 and interprets this as Christ descending to Hades to preach to those who have not heard or yet accepted Christ as Lord. I think by this he overcomes the objection some have of it not being fair that some people never hear the gospel preached while they live. Definitely something I should like to read more on.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-29 00:00:00 Lionel Steiman This was a powerful book unpacking the comfort found in some of Jesus's final words to his disciples. Though we may tend to use the phrase "Let not your heart be troubled" as a mere platitude of comfort, Lloyd-Jones argues for the theology behind it. Comfort that isn't based on any real truth isn't actually comfort, he says. This book puts down layer after layer of truth on which a Christian can stand in true comfort as the fears and trials of life persist. I'll return to this book again, specifically some of the early chapters. For those with stubbornly troubled hearts, this book can make a deep difference.
