The message of this book is one of joy It is about real Christianity, the other life that will be lived in and through us if we will open our minds and hearts to the Spirit. Leanne Payne shows us how – by practicing the presence of God. This book is based on a profound understanding of C.S. Lewis’s spiritual writings, especially those concerning the implications of the incarnation. Written in simple language, free from theological jargon, it is the best guide on this aspect of Lewis’s thought. But it is also excellent on other subjects, including repentance, forgiveness, and the arts. It is difficult to praise too highly this joyful book!
