Description
The book Surprised by Joy by C. S. Lewis is an extremely personal spiritual autobiography concerning the author’s experience shifting from atheism to Christian faith. Lewis recalls his early life, intellectual odyssey, and an experience he labeled “Joy”—an intense longing for another kind of experience. Through literature, philosophy, and reflection, he ultimately arrives at this wide-ranging “Joy,” leaving him with an understanding of God.
