C.S. Lewis

If anyone enjoys reading C.S. Lewis, I found a great page with some quotes of his. Also, if you haven't read his book, Mere Christianity, I would highly recommend it!

C. S. Lewis, Christian Behaviour:

Quote:
Hope is one of the theological virtues. This means that a continual looking forward to the eternal world is not, as some modern people think, a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you will get neither.

Unfortunetly I have a problem reading C.S. Lewis, Lewis at one time our another sayd not so nice things about John Bunyan ie "I think his theology is Repugnant." As for me I'll read Bunyan
