Cs Lewis Legacy

Some adults may live much of their lives with a literal faith. Stage three is group faith Young people start to value the importance of friendship and often come to view God as one who treats them much like a trusted companion. Stage four is person faith. People strengthen their faith by questioning earlier beliefs. Stage five is mystical faith. At this stage of faith the awareness of God’s inner presence leads one to become more aware that God also dwells in others. Interfaith dialogue now becomes not a threat but an opportunity for new understanding. Stage six is sacrificial faith. Jesus, Dorothy Day, and Archbishop Romero are examples of this sacrificial faith. Such people display radical and consistent commitment to the doing of God’s will that is uncompromised by concern for personal security.

C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest authors in history. His books are still widely available and sold to many interested readers. In Lewis’ childhood, he experienced a tragedy that affected his belief in god; in his middle life, he mainly focused on college and his studies, but his father’s death played a role in Lewis later becoming a Christian. In Lewis’ later life, he married one of his own fans. Clive’s passion for writing began when he was a small child, and it continued to grow as he furthered his education to become a college professor at Oxford University. Lewis is still remembered today for his great works, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a popular series among children.

C.S. Lewis when he was a small boy, endured a tragedy no nine year old should ever have to go through that led to a tragic loss of faith and family. C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1898 and grew up being a normal child. One of Lewis’s greatest accomplishments is writing the world famous Chronicles of Narnia series. C.S. Lewis is known today as a brilliant author, an amazing thinker, and a faithful Christian.

Many famous heroes have stories written about them. “The Legends of Heracles”, “Biography of Rosa Parks”, and “Paul Revere’s Ride” are examples of when an author writes about a hero. What happens when a hero’s tale is told a century later? Popularity. The untold story of the courageous and passionate Paul Revere is revealed. The author, Henry Longfellow, weaves the tale of “Paul Revere’s Ride” through vivid imagery, figurative language, and sound devices. These tools help Longfellow create different moods, and influence the reader’s emotions. Longfellow told a heroic legend that entertains and captivates readers as much in modern times as when it was first written.

Our faith journey is something that we have to work at our entire lives. Through different events in our lives, the stage we are at in our journey can be affected. For some people, a trial in their life might strengthen their faith, while other people may be discouraged in their faith. Through different events in the book Ordinary Grace, William Kent Krueger demonstrates how tough trials can strengthen or destruct one’s faith through God’s awful grace.

C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” Within the quote, one can understand the Christian views of C.S. Lewis. Many know C.S Lewis as a fantasy novelist who wrote the infamous Chronicles of Narnia (Proquest Learning Literature). However, many don’t know that his other writings reflect his beliefs as a Christian.

As an author of religious polemics and allegorical fiction, CS Lewis is considered a brilliant and influential Christian writer of the 20th century.

Introduction: Books have been around for hundreds of years, and as time goes on people have come to appreciate books more and more.

My mom once told me when I was young and ignorant, “Faith is the foundation of a beautiful friendship with the one person who will always remain by your side”. These words were expressed even more profoundly every Sunday in the echoing corridors of a small church by a priest I had yet to know or even care about. Preaching with his perplexing words in which I could only muster barely a fourth of my full attention span listening to. Thus, the term faith did not exactly resonate with me until many years later. My early years were filled with the teachings of the bible in Sunday school and later on as well in middle school during Friday night sessions. Unfortunately, my mom was an extremely strong enforcer of our faith for she was also raised Catholic from birth, but my dad on the other hand has a more scientific approach to how the world came to be. The years I spent in Sunday school blurred into an everlasting line of bleak nothingness just a ticking clock waiting till an end. Even today I do not remember anything that occurred within those taxing sixty minuets of constant bible studies it’s as though I lost the key to the inner workings of my childhood. Nonetheless, there have always been unbelievably great role models in my faith such as my mom, youth ministers, and friends who encourage me to be open to my faith. However, it’s always been my own restrictions that prevent me from furthering my relationship with God. So when my sister suffered her first severe
