From the author of Mere Christianity, the greatest Christian thinker of our time shares the spiritual journey of his early life in this acclaimed memoir.
In this acclaimed memoir, C. S. Lewis shares the spiritual journey of his early life. Through his childhood in Belfast, to boarding school and youthful atheism in England, he describes the 'guns and good company' of his World War I experience, and lands on the precipice of his distinguished career at Oxford University.
Surprised by Joy is a chronicle of his conversion to the Christian faith and an enthralling account of Lewis' lifelong quest for a feeling so sublime it cannot be expressed in words. The insightful lesson of 'the most reluctant convert in all of England' teaches that it is joy which truly guides the path towards God.

Born in Ireland in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where he was a contemporary of Tolkien. In 1954 he became Professor of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. C. S. Lewis was for many years an atheist, until his conversion, memorably described in his autobiography 'Surprised by Joy': "I gave in, and admitted that God was God ... perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." He is celebrated for his famous series of children's books, the Narnia Chronicles (which have been filmed and broadcast many times), as well as his literary criticism and science fiction. C. S. Lewis died on 22nd November 1963.
