The Business of Heaven: Daily Readings from C. S. Lewis by Walter Hooper, C.S. Lewis
5.0
4.5 stars. First I should mention that I didn't read this book as it's meant to be read, one daily passage at a time. But I get the sense that would have been an even more impactful reading experience because the thoughts in this book are meant to be pondered.
Many of the daily readings end with a line or two that is widely quoted. So it's fun to be reminded of the arguments that lead up to those well-known lines.
Occasionally a reading would come from Screwtape Letters and it would take a second to realize the change in voice. I wonder if the format would have been improved if the headings shared where the selected reading was taken from? Hmm.
Good read. I'm counting this as "a book by C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien" for 2016 #vtReadingChallenge
