1. Logical

2. CON helped me through some dark years in my teens. Screwtape helped me to see life as a battlefield where the good guys win in the end. Lewis' general truthful outlook on the Christian life has been an eye-opener to how we deceive ourselves and excuse our sin.

3. Chronicles of Narnia (all of them) - b/c they are so full of meaning and are enjoyable reads.

1) Brilliant

2) Earth shattering. He made me realize I could be a christian without being in-yer-face type, which always made me uncomfortable.

3) The Great Divorce; It makes me laugh and long for heaven at the same time.

1. Christian

2. Yes. Surprised by Joy was instrumental in my conversion.

3. The Screwtape Letters. It's a brilliant conceit, wonderfully written, and profoundly true.

... and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.

Remember in the books of Narnia this is always true!
