Not Lewis at his best. The excuse could be made that, as a posthumous book, it may not have been quite ready for publication. The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature was also published after Lewis, but (despite being non-fiction) is just short of amazing.

The format is much like The Screwtape Letters: one side of an exchange of letters, this one supposedly with C. S. Lewis with an old friend Malcolm. Most, but not all, time references seem to date it to the las...more

A collection of letters that C.S. Lewis wrote to a friend called Malcolm (and I can't tell you who this Malcolm is because I have not bothered to research much beyond this) and the main topic of discussion is prayer, specifically private prayer. Lewis chooses not to speak about corporate prayer because in his words 'he knows very little about it'. It is a shame that in my edition we do not have Malcolm's letters because it would have been good to actually get both sides of the conversation, part...more

To fully appreciate this, one has to recognize what Jack is trying to do; or not trying to do. He is not trying to tell you what is correct or proper, or even what you should believe. He is only explaining what he tends to think regarding certain doctrines or aspects of the faith. This is in no way written to flaunt his beliefs as superior to others or even to name them as most right. I actually found myself disagreeing with a multitude of his ideas, not in a "kill-the-heretic" kind of way, more...more

This is not your traditional C.S. Lewis book. It's not really theological in the sense of his other writings like Mere Christianity or the Four Loves. And so, it is simply a collection of letters which Lewis writes to his friend Malcolm. In this exchange of friendly letters, I often felt like a third wheel, trying to listen to that secret language that is only known by such an intimate relationship.

Moreover, some of his conclusions are troubling, especially in regards to Purgatory and prayers fo...more

After spending several hours of my life reading about the subject, I have come to the conclusion that Prayer is something better discussed than taught. In fact, I will go so far as to say that most "instructional" books on the topic may do the reader more harm than good.

In fact, I will go so far as to say that most "instructional" books on the topic may do the reader more harm than good. They either box the reader in with formulas, often on only one type of prayer, so that when the prayer is successful (whatever that means) a cult member is created, and when unsuccessful (which usually means they didn't get something they didn't need), the reader is left frustrated and lost, thinking she/he didn't have enough faith or wasn't doing it right or is cursed by God.

Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer is the kind of book that could and should be read by people faith (even non-christians). I found it quite edifying to read this half-dialogue between two intelligent individuals which covered topics as diverse as whether God is changed by prayer, why pray when God knows our thoughts, and our mental images of God during prayer. Instead of directions and dogma, I found open conversation (Lewis does a good job of letting us know Malcolm's thoughts), that left me in an encouraging state of awe.

We get Lewis' trademark insights into human thought and foibles. On The Lord's Prayer, he writes, "It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good." I loved the humor and openness of his remarks on Communion: "The command, after all, was Take, eat; not Take, understand....All this is autobiography, not theology." And I found it comforting to read, "One of the purposes for which God instilled prayer may have been to bear witness that the course of events is not governed like a state but created like a work of art to which every being makes its contribution."

I probably learned more about Prayer from Letters to Malcolm than I have from dozens of books on the subject (some of the best of which have quoted it). I gave my personal reactions to a handful of passages because I'm sure not everyone will respond to this little volume as I have. Maybe that is the beauty of the book. I think it has something for everyone. Like Prayer.(less)

This was a tough read for me for some reason. It takes the form of a series of letters from Lewis to a close friend named Malcolm. As an Inklings fan, I spent a good part of the book wondering which of the Inklings Jack was writing to. I confess to being somewhat annoyed when I learned that Malcolm was an imaginary construct, devised to make the subjects Lewis was tackling easier for him to write about.

I always come away from Professor Lewis the same way. It is often a chore. I cannot catch up, and I wonder where my education went wrong. If I were to write a book that said some of the things Lewis said, I would certainly be castigated as a heretic by my peers. Perhaps that is the advantage of being a literary theologian instead of clergy, what difference does it make if a critic is a heretic, as long as he isn't saying from the pulpit?

Spectacular and beautiful. CS Lewis' earlier books were very well written and (in my personal opinion) rather well argued. This is not an "argued" book, though; the subtitle "reflections" is a more apt description. That's not to say Lewis fails to present good arguments for his ideas, but the matter of the book is more of a 'search' than of a 'telling.' Especially towards the end, Lewis shows how much he has learned through his life on how to describe the beauty that we see beyond the physicalit...more

How do we take delight in God, in the sunshine? How do we do good things (like prayer) when sin weighs us down and they feel like duty, instead?

This book is famous for Lewis' purgatory error. He says it's a necessity if we are to be fit for heaven upon death. This assumes (wrongly, I think) that such a change of our nature takes God time to accomplish.

He has a passage on Communion that is quite good. “Here is big medicine and strong magic....
“I should define magic in this sense as ‘objective efficacy which cannot be further analysed.’…. Admittedly, the ‘magical’ element in such truths can be got rid of by explanation…. But no scientist, I suppose, believes that the process could ever reach completion. At the very least, there must always remain the utterly ‘brute’ fact… that a universe… exists…. Enlightened people want to get rid of this magical element in favour of what they would call the ‘spiritual’ element. But the spiritual, conceived as something thus antithetical to ‘magical,’ seems to become merely the psychological or ethical…. It [the magical element] can never be reduced to zero. If it is, what remains is only morality, or culture, or philosophy…

“The command after all, was Take, eat: not Take, understand. Particularly, I hope I need not be tormented by the question ‘What is this?’ – this wafer, this sip of wine. That has a dreadful effect on me.” (103-105)

"If that other world [the supernatural] is once admitted, how can it, except by sensual or bustling pre-occupations, be kept in the background of our minds?" 120

He tends to wax philosophical, too:
"Matter enters our experience only by becoming sensation (when we perceive it) or conception (when we understand it). That is, by becoming soul." 123

So, not a practical book in the way we think of it today. But Lewis does deal closely with the practice and problems of piety and prayer.(less)

Short review: Such a good short book. Collections of letters can be so good or so bad. This is on the good side. We only read Lewis' letters (Malcolm's are not presented) but the flow is still natural. It is an intimate portrait and one where we can see Lewis working out ideas, not just showing us the final product. I will read this again. It is too rich to not pick up again.

Written Screwtape-style with only one side of the correspondence presented. This is a profound inquiry into what constitutes worship and prayer. My favorite line, frequently quoted, is a caution to the church's haste to "relevant" and attractive to outsiders, "It looks as if they believed people can lured to go to church by incessant brightenings, lengthenings, abridgements, simplifications amd complications of the service."

The book primarily consists of speculations and musing on prayer with very few conclusions. I certainly differer from Lewis on praying for the dead and the existence of purgatory both of which he referenced but chose not to defend.

I love CS Lewis. But not this book. Perhaps it was the first chapter. I simply found myself disagreeing with him so often regarding my experience of worship and prayer, that it hard to read the rest of the book with an open mind. I was looking for points of disagreement, not revelation. So it's probably my error in reading, rather than his in writing. Or perhaps it's because any book on prayer written as a dialogue with another person is doomed to fail. Learning the art of sculpture from the con...more

What I found so interesting about Letters to Malcolm is that Lewis wrote this fictional exchange between himself and his friend as a way of avoiding writing a book on prayer, which he’d been urged to do but felt vastly unqualified to do. It was a thought provoking exchange, and for me, not a quick read. As per usual when I read Lewis, I needed to read, step back, and chew on it for a few days before I could move on.

It was a thought provoking exchange, and for me, not a quick read. As per usual when I read Lewis, I needed to read, step back, and chew on it for a few days before I could move on.

According to www.cslewis.org, “Letters to Malcolm was the final book Lewis wrote, and it was published posthumously in 1964. Lewis never intended this to be a book of instruction on how to pray, (“for me to offer the world instruction about prayer would be impudence”), rather he wanted readers to view it as a record of “two people on the foothills comparing notes in private”. As such, Letters to Malcolm is peculiarly addressed to the converted intellectual, still struggling to understand the purpose of prayer, and what is actually happening when we pray.”

One of my favorite passages:

“It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good. Do you know what I mean? On every level of our life – in our religious experience, in our gastronomic, erotic, aesthetic, and social experience – we are always harking back to some occasion which seemed to us to reach perfection, setting that up as a norm, and depreciating all other occasions by comparison. But these other occasions, I now suspect, are often full of their own new blessing, if only we would lay ourselves open to it. God shows us a new facet of the glory, and we refuse to look at it because we’re still looking for the old one.”

This really hit home for me because I am definitely guilty of this very transgression. I’m so busy complaining “Why didn’t you give me the thing I asked for?” that I refuse to see that what God has given me, or has waiting for me, will be infinitely better.

3.5 stars for a book that really gave me some good theology to chew on, as nearly all of C.S. Lewis’ books have done.(less)

Unsurprisingly (but always astonishingly), C.S. Lewis's "Letters to Malcolm" is a life-altering look at our prayer lives. Though Lewis does admit that the book is "exaggerated," even almost a "lie," because of its treatment of prayer so separate from the rest of daily life, the book (written in the form of correspondence between Lewis and his friend) achieves its purpose: it provokes deep thought, intense prayer and serious introspection.

Lewis is widely known for writing, and it is likely due to the fact that this book is unlike most of C.S. Lewis' other books: It is technically a work of fiction, but feels like an anthology of disconnected letters that muse on the theology of the church and of prayer. A cursory glance of some of the other reviewers tells me that many people seem to have expected the work to be a sort of theology of prayer, only to find that it is nothing more than an individual's musings on the nature of communication with God.

This is not a theological work; it's far more like a formal diary of Lewis' thoughts on prayer. If I remember correctly, Lewis intended to originally write a sort of sequel to "The Screwtape Letters" where two angels were communicating with one another; instead he realized that we are far closer to the devilish than the divine and that he could not write a work that involved communication between two holy creatures. So, instead, he wrote this book: fictional letters between two friends considering what it is like to communicate with the God who made them both.

I found the book (this being the second time I have read it) to be refreshing. It's not any kind of in-depth theology (though I enjoy that immensely), and it's not a heady philosophical treatise on the nature of the soul's interaction with the immaterial. It is simply the intuitive thoughts of a seasoned scholar and churchman who has lived an enormously experienced life versed in blessing and cursing and love and loss. This book was published only a few months before Lewis died, and it really reveals the state of his heart at the time.

There are a lot of refreshing insights into what Lewis considered prayer to be, as well as some slightly questionable practices that Lewis openly admits to (that is, praying for the dead; his reasoning is sound, but the practice is nevertheless theologically questionable, though not outright wrong). The book is, more than anything, a conversation piece that invites other believers who struggle with prayer and communicating with God (Lewis admits that prayer is a burden for him; isn't it somewhat encouraging that a man of Lewis' caliber could feel the same way as most of us about this?) to join in considering what prayer is by practicing it more and more. This book is not an apologetic; it is for people who already know the Lord, but have trouble talking to him. Approach it as Lewis' contribution to the ecclesiastic community about the nature of prayer and praying, and you will learn from it and see an aspect of prayer through very different and very unique eyes.(less)

Prayer is relational. It is a conversation between two people. Letters to Malcolm is a conversation about prayer. C. S. Lewis uses the premise of two friends corresponding between one and another as a basis to discuss prayer with his readers. In a friendly, familiar style, the letters explore how and when to pray. It is as if the reader is eavesdropping on a friendship. Through this style, Lewis lays out his opinion on what he thinks are God’s expectations on us while we pray. He moves from sim...more

You and I wouldn't, at all stages, think it wise to tell a pupil exactly what we thought of his quality. It is much more important that he should know what to do next." (p. 34)

"Doesn't the mere fact of putting things into words of itself involve an exaggeration?...The other day I tried to describe to you a very minimal experience...But I now see that putting it down in black and white made it sound far bigger than it really is. The truth is, I haven't any language weak enough to depict the weakness of my spiritual life. If I weakened it enough it would cease to be language at all." (pp. 112-113)

"I hope I do not offend God by making by Communions in the frame of mind I have been describing. The command, after all, was Take, eat: not Take, understand." (p. 104)

"...It looks as if they [Anglican clergmen] believed people can be lured to go to church by incessant brightenings, lightenings, lengthenings, abridgements, simplifications, and complications of the service. And it is true that a new, keen vicar will usually be able to form within his parish a minority who are in favour of his innovations. The majority, I believe, never are. Those who remain--many give up churchgoing altogether--merely endure.
"Is this simply because the majority are hide-bound? I think not. They have a good reason for their conservatism. Novelty, simply as such, can have only an entertainment value. And they don't go to church to be entertained...As long as you notice, and have to count, the steps, you are not yet dancing but only learning to dance. A good shoe is a shoe you don't notice...The perfect church service would be one we were almost unaware of; our attention would have been on God." (p. 4)

Maybe I'll understand this on my next reading of it." Overall, I highly recommend this book as an instrument to clarify one's own thoughts about prayer. Lewis covers many aspects of it, including who we pray for, the difficulties of prayer, methods of prayer, etc.

Thought provoking but I presume a fictional correspondence between Lewis and a certain Malcom. The two do not agree on how prayer works or how it is supposed to be done. Not even on the outcome or anything at all.
Where it becomes interesting though is in both their struggles with prayer and when one of the two has quite grief to deal with. Then the differences are laid aside comfort is given to the other
