In the book Miracles C.S. Lewis discusses what miracles are and challenges the reader, Christian or not, to think philosophically on how and why they happen. He uses ideas such as naturalism and supernaturalism to help readers understand the idea of miracles, but also makes sure to point out that miracles do happen, and they happen for a reason. That reason being because God intended them to happen to maintain control on Earth as well as show his sovereignty. Some people may think of things being 'out of control' in the world to be riots, an uncontrollable plague, or even a three year old kid throwing a tantrum, but in reality what if 'out of control' is anything that has resulted from the fall, anything that God had not intended? C.S. Lewis states, “By definition, miracles must of course interrupt the usual course of Nature...in the very act of so doing, assert all the more the unity and self-consistency of total reality at some deeper level”(97).

In the excerpt from Surprised by Joy, C.S Lewis reflects on the events that led him on his journey to becoming a writer. Beginning in the seventh year of his life Lewis recounts the move of his family to their new home,which in Lewis’s own words was "less like a house than a city”, and all the wonders of the seemingly endless amount of books that it held.

Clive Staples (C.S) Lewis is known for his intellectual writings and is arguable one of the most influential writers of his day. Lewis was born to a protestant family in Belfast, Ireland. He remembers his family purchasing and reading “endless” books, where none of them were off–limits to him. This in return may have played a significant role in his imagination and love for fantasy. After his brother left home for boarding school in 1905, Lewis spent most of his time reading and imagining worlds outside of his own. During this time, Lewis would write and illustrated his own stories. After his mother’s death from cancer in 1908, Lewis became withdrawn and would eventually reject Christianity to become an avowed atheist. Lewis entered Oxford in 1917 and would teach at Cambridge from 1955 to 1963. Lewis published his first book of many in 1919 called Spirits in Bondage. In 1929, after Lewis had questioned his faith long enough, he surrendered, admitting “God was God.” From there, Lewis would write reflective literature devoted to his newly found faith.
