Surprised by Joy Summary

Surprised by Joy by C. S. Lewis

In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God...perhaps the most dejeced and reluctant convert in all England. Thus C.S. Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion in his famous autobiography.

Lewis was for many years an atheist, and in Surprised by Joy he vividly describes the spiritual quest which eventually convinced him of the truth and reality of the Christian faith.

Surprised by Joy Reviews

`He is admirably equipped to write spiritual autobiography for the plain man, for his outstanding gift is clarity. You can take it at two levels, as straight autobiography, or as a kind of spiritual thriller, a detective's probing of clue and motive that led up to his return to the Christianity he had lost in childhood.'
Isabel Quigley, Sunday Times
