“The autobiography of Christian author CS Lewis, written in 1955. Very well written, painting a wonderful picture of his childhood, before his mother died, and giving insights into some of his sufferings at school later on. Full of philosophical ponderings and imaginative thoughts, ending the book when he finally gives in to God and becomes a believer. Inspiring and fascinating - I first read this in my late teens and enjoyed it just as much recently. ”

“Though I'm a big C. S. Lewis fan, it took me a long time to actually finish this book. In fact, I started and never finished years ago. Recently I was reading a biography on Lewis that quoted extensively from SbJ, so I decided to give it another shot. I did like it, but it's far from being my favorite of his.”

“A 27 year old Atheist, becomes a Theist, by logical reasoning... What is terrifying about this work, is that many believe that Lewis is declaring himself born again at this point. No repentance is mentioned, and there was no change in Lewis life. These are central issues regarding salvation according to God's Word (eg. II Cor. 7:10). Lewis merely assents to a "Spiritual Being", but not the God of the Bible, for IF he had according to Jesus' statement he would have kept his commandments and followed Him (eg. John 8). Lewis believed yes, but the Devils fear and tremble (James 2:19).”

“Not Lewis' most engaging book. It is a good read, however, to get some background on the author himself.”

“Lewis is so funny! Really, I laughed out loud at several points. Great stuff. Profound simplicity.”
