Searching for Deeper Truth
Lewis was the first modern writer who challenged me about
Christian faith. He knocked me off my pins. I was an inquirer
thenóa seeker in todayís parlance. Yet up to that point, what
I had read on faith was rather safe and traditional. Lewis, by
contrast, stunned me.

Home Improvements
In Mere Christianity, [Lewis] compares the
human spirit to a house that needs improvement…
Speaking about spiritual transformation, he pictures
the change that comes about through grace as an enormous
work of renovation.
Imagine yourself as a living house. God
comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can
understand what he is doing…But presently he starts
knocking the house about…What on earth is he up to?
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little
cottage: but he is building a palace. He intends to come
and live in it himself.

Made for a Better Place
C.S. Lewis suggests that part of the way God guides us in our
wandering lives is to plant in us a kind of homing device, a
bone-deep instinct for heaven. All those lonely moments
when we feel alienated from our surroundings, when we
know ourselves to be strangers in a strange land, are
reminders from God that this world is not our ultimate home.
As marvelous as the earth is, we were made for a better
place.
