A Severe Mercy: A Story of Faith, Tragedy and Triumph
by Sheldon Vanauken, C.S. Lewis
by Sheldon Vanauken, C.S. Lewis
This book is the story of a remarkable and true love story between the author and his wife. Their paths lead them to Yale and then to Oxford, where they become friends with C.S. Lewis. Eventually, they end up in Lynchburg, VA, when Vanauken becomes a professor of English at Lynchburg College.
A line from this book ended up in one of my favourite Bruce Cockburn songs, "Fascist Architecture." See if you can find it.

Under the mercy....literally the page I stopped on. Struggling after chapter VII, as I have an acute fear of death despite being a Christian. Tell me I will be glad I finished this book.
