We are delighted to extend this special offer from our friends at Fellowship for Performing Arts for a FREE viewing of the virtual presentation of the stage play "Shadowlands," Feb 21-24. Inspired by C.S. Lewis’s memoirs, including "A Grief Observed," and which resulted in the Academy Award-winning film by Sir Richard Attenborough, "Shadowlands" is the profoundly moving true story of love and loss, doubt and faith in Lewis's joyous romance and marriage to Joy Davidman and then her death from cancer. https://bit.ly/37rqNPm ...

C.S. Lewis Books

In his professional writings, Lewis was a literary critic, novelist, poet, essayist, and man of letters. His work captures a grandeur, precision, wit, imagination and insight seldom matched by others, and in the process, he articulately critiques the materialism, reductionism, scientism, collectivism, nihilism, statism, and de-humanization of the modern era.

Our Mission

A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.
—The Abolition of Man
"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
—The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses
“Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
—Christian Apologetics: Pro and Con
