C. S. Lewis, one of literature's finest storytellers, began as a poet and selected St. Peter's First Epistle as the subject of his first book of poetry. Since this book's themes aren't particularly spiritual, it's surprising that he went to the New Testament for his title. He later wrote the Narnia chronicles that won the hearts of children but continued as the author of commanding yet controversial works of modern Christianity. Poetry was his first love and from this came his powerful contributions to the moralistic philosophies. He was a happy young man whose trusting beginnings gave way to the shrewd wisdom of an incomparable authority.Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.
