    <![CDATA[The first study of C.S. Lewis to offer a detailed examination of &quot;Till We Have Faces,&quot; Peter J. Schakel's book is also the first to explore the tension between reason and imagination that significantly shaped Lewis' thinking and writing. Schakel begins with a close analysis of &quot;Till We Have Faces&quot; which leads the readers through the plot, clarifying its themes and it discusses structure, symbols and allusions. The second part of the book surveys Lewis' works, tracing the tension between reason and imagination. In the works of the thirties and forties reason is in the ascendant; from the early fifties on, in works such as the Chronicles of Narnia, there is an increased emphasis on imagination - which culminates in the fine &quot;myth retold,&quot; &quot;Till We Have Faces.&quot; Imagination and reason are reconciled, finally in the works of the early sixties such as &quot;A Grief Observed&quot; and &quot;Letters to Malcolm.&quot;  PETER J. SCHAKEL is Professor of English at Hope College, Holland, MI.  &quot;This book is what Lewis scholarship ought to be. It is the most thoughtful, careful Lewis study yet.&quot; - Peter Kreeft  &quot;Reason and Imagination&quot; is a remarkable achievement, literary criticism that is both wise and moving.&quot; - Margaret Hannay  &quot;Peter Schakel brings to C. S. Lewis scholarship what has often been lacking, namely rigorous scholarly method and real critical detachment. His study of &quot;Till We Have Faces&quot; is a major contribution to Lewis studies.&quot; - Thomas Howard]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>&quot;Every year you grow, you will find me bigger.&quot;   Aslan to Lucy in Prince Caspian</p><p>C. S. Lewis was, of course, a brilliant apologist, and his books contain much to feed your intellect. But Lewis was also very concerned about Christian formation and strongly desired to help believers deepen their faith and broaden their vision of God.</p><p>In this book Peter Schakel opens to you the more practical parts of Lewis's wonderful writings. Covering areas of potential struggle such as prayer, suffering, doubt and control, Schakel draws principles from Lewis's nonfiction as well as illustrations from the Chronicles of Narnia to stir your imagination and soul so that you might see God in new ways. In addition, the author quotes from contemporaries of Lewis, showing how their thinking fit with Lewis's.</p><p>With reflection questions included, this deeper look at Lewis's formational writings is valuable for your personal devotions or for group discussions. Either way, as you read you will find God bigger and bigger.</p><br/><strong>Market/Audience</strong>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fans of C. S. Lewis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Small group leaders&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Students&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;<br/><strong>Features and Benefits</strong>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Written by an author who is an established expert on the writings of C. S. Lewis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Includes questions for personal reflection or discussion as well as related Scripture texts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ideal to read and discuss in a small group&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Each chapter highlights one example from the popular Narnia series along with various examples from other writings of C. S. Lewis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[With a new film version of &quot;The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe&quot; due to be released later this year and more films on their way, C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia are back in the public eye. How did a middle-aged professor with no children write books that have become cherished classics of children's literature? And why have they remained so popular? &quot;The Way into Narnia&quot; is the perfect companion for first-time visitors to Narnia, while full of fresh insights for those who have already traveled there often.  <p>Exploring ideas from &quot;On Fairy-Stories,&quot; the influential essay by Lewis's friend J. R. R. Tolkien, veteran Lewis scholar Peter Schakel suggests that the best way to enter Narnia is to read the Chronicles as fairy tales. Taking a chapter for each of the Chronicles, he walks readers through the works, concluding the tour with a unique and practical section of notes on all seven volumes. These annotations clarify unfamiliar words, pick out allusions, highlight significant details, and offer interpretive comments on problematic passages.  <p>This is the practical companion you will need for your next journey through the Chronicles of Narnia.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Williams was hailed for his metaphysical, ethical, and social vision. These essays study the rhetorical means he employed to convey that vision and the rhetorical theories that guided his writing. Williams emerges as one who could preserve a sense of the transcendent, and the collection challenges any temptation to oversimplify either Williams's art or his ideas.]]>
