C. S. Lewis gave the world Narnia, Aslan, and some of the most beloved Christian books ever written. But how do you introduce the man himself to your kids?
Long before he was the most famous Christian writer of the twentieth century, C. S. Lewis was a lonely boy in Belfast who lost his mother at nine, a teenager who quietly stopped believing in God, and a soldier nearly killed in the trenches of World War I. By the time he reached Oxford, he was a brilliant, confident atheist. And then, slowly and against his own will, he changed his mind, and became the man who would explain the Christian faith to millions and dream up a great Lion named Aslan.
But this isn't just the story of a famous author. It's the story of a longing, the ache for something we can't quite name, that led a hardened atheist all the way home to God. It's about a man who doubted, argued, suffered, and grieved, and who never stopped following the truth wherever it led. And it's about how the deepest desires of your own heart might be signposts pointing to something real.
Who Was C. S. Lewis? makes the remarkable life of Jack Lewis accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't shy away from the hard parts or talk down to kids, this guide walks through his whole life, from a rainy window in Belfast to a quiet grave in an Oxford churchyard, with:
The man behind the books kids already love—from The Chronicles of Narnia to Mere Christianity to The Screwtape Letters, revealing the real person who created the world inside the wardrobe
Honest engagement with a complicated life—handling Lewis's atheism, the horror of war, deep grief and doubt, and even where his beliefs differ from ours, in age-appropriate ways that spark real conversations
Real-life application in every chapter—with a "What this means for us" section and discussion questions (each with Scripture to look up) that connect Lewis's story to a kid's own faith, doubts, and longings
Whether your child loves Narnia and wants to know the man who made it, is wrestling with doubt, or is learning that honest questions and real faith can go together, Who Was C. S. Lewis? will show them that the restless longing in every human heart is a signpost, and that it points all the way home to God.
Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.
