About this product

Product Information

In April 1956, C.S. Lewis, a confirmed bachelor, married Joy Davidman, an American poet with two small children. After four brief, intensely happy years, Lewis found himself alone again, and inconsolable. To defend himself against the loss of belief in God, Lewis wrote this journal, an eloquent statement of rediscovered faith. In it he freely confesses his doubts, his rage, and his awareness of human frailty. In it he finds again the way back to life.

  • Great book, helps to heal a broken heart

    This author is trying to deal with a great loss from a familiar tormentor, that has taken other valuable people out of his life. At the same time he is trying not to loose his religion. Trying to deal with a premature loss myself, I can feel his pain.

  • A grief shared, a grief explained, a grief likely to be much like your own.

    A friend lent me this book. I got about half way through when I realized I needed to make notes in the book. So I had to buy my own copy. There were a number of times that's Lewis' experience and insight matched mine exactly.

  • Grief!

    A great personal journal from the Author, C.S. Lewis. If you are or have experienced Grief, this is a great book to read. It's an older book but human emotions never change. Highly Recommend!

  • CS Lewis went through this pain and questioning God...it is not uncommon.

    Great book for christians dealing with loss of a loved one, causing one to question God's goodness or even His existence. Deep grief. Deep pain. Heavy duty reading. I have read it through, and must read it again.

  • That's the title....could be better, could be worse.

    Good information for emotionally devastated spouses. A few parts were a little beyond my understanding because of the writing style (but then I'm not the brightest light bulb on the block).

  • C.S. Lewis reviews grief with deep feeling

    Grief associated with the loss of a loved one can be nearly unbearable. C.S. Lewis lost his wife to cancer. My mother died suddenly and unexpectedly. Even so the feelings were similar. This book helped me.

    Read a library copy. Now I have my own. It is a book for anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. It explains my loss to a tee. . I love everything that c.s.Lewis wrote.
