A Year of Daily Readings Compiled by C.S. Lewis to Illuminate the Spirit of Christ
An 365-day anthology of readings from one of the most influential writers of all time, George MacDonald, compiled by CS Lewis himself.
MacDonald was a major Christian writer of the late nineteenth, early twentieth centuries. He influenced nearly everyone who was a major twentieth century writer (including Lewis Carroll, WH Auden, JRR Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, and CS Lewis. Not only was he a pioneer in the fantasy fiction genre, laying the path for people like Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings, but also a major Christian thinker, which influenced Lewis profoundly.
Lewis, in fact, wrote that MacDonald was his โmasterโ, and said โI know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself.โ
These words will challenge and uplift you, and illuminate the faith which underpins all of CS Lewisโs popular and enduring writing.

About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classic, The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.
