This Book Is Not Large Enough!

This work is a fine summary of the thought and theology of Lewis. The author has done a good job of encapsulating the depth and scope of the world of C. S. Lewis. Anyone who is interested in learning about Jack, or in revisiting his points of mere christianity, should read this book. It is a good reference and a good read. The author writes well and performs a first rate job of summary without losing any of the nuances of Lewis theological system. This is a must for any Lewis collection. Enjoy!

Relevant, revealing book enlarges view of God for all

Sometimes C.S. Lewis is over my head and trying to connect all he said about subjects like grace, the church, love, prayer, suffering, doubt, and heaven requires searching through numerous works. Now Dr. Peter J. Schakel of Hope University, one of the most pre-eminent Lewis scholars, has compiled such pertinent information and explanation in Is Your Lord Large Enough? Dr. Schakel's clear and concise writing makes these subjects easy for the layman and serves as a nucleus for personal devotions and group discussions. Thought-provoking questions are at the end of chapters as well. He brings most everything back to Narnia and other works such as Till We Have Faces and the Ransom trilogy, as well as CSL's nonfiction. Helpful features include a brief biography and bibliographies of CSL books and books about him. Dr. Schakel is one of the most foremost and highly respected experts and wise scholars and he proves this once again in this welcome addition to Lewis scholarship. This book helps deepen one's faith and broaden one's vision of God drawing us ever closer to our Maker and Lord. -- Sandra Coffey, College English Instructor
