C S Lewis is such an inspiration to me as well. I don’t know that he would have approved of transgenderism (not, I suspect, given his time period) but I know he would have had some stern admonitions for its more self-righteous critics…

About C.S. Lewis…I think his book The Abolition of Man is one of the most prescient of the later 1900s.
I prefer a paper copy, and will look for one tomorrow. From what I have read, it seems like just the perfect antidote to all the intellectual cynicism of the blogosphere. 🙂 xxx
Over here we can find them in used bookstores for just a couple dollars.
Also, his book The Discarded Image is an all time influence on my thinking. It’s a scholarly work rather than devotional, and it examines the mideaval mindset and way of thinking, and then contrasts it with the modern one.

I haven’t read that one yet, but I will keep an eye out for it. 🙂

Oh totes! You will really love it I think! He does in about 100 pgs what Jacques Ellul takes about 1500 to do
I’ll probably blaze through it, then, but it will still be totally worth the price.:)

Very very important book
Both committed to memory, and so glad I stopped by here. 🙂 xxx
Yes, it certainly does. Any word yet?

This quote hits so hard. It’s so true.
