C. S. Lewis, an unfailingly honest and supremely insightful observer of the self, vividly recounts the spiritual journey that led him from a Christian Belfast childhood to an atheistic adolescence and finally back to Christianity. Lewis describes his early school days, his experiences in the trenches during World War I, and his years as a university student at Oxford, where he found himself once again drawn to God. The rational aspect of his conversion makes Lewis's account very moving, especially for contemporary readers.
First published in 1955, this story remains of extreme importance to admirers of his works and, now more than ever, to all those interested in the compatibility of the rational and the spiritual.
