It is always shocking to meet life where we thought we were alone.

Synopsis:  (From Goodreads) 

The classic A Year with C.S. Lewis is an intimate day-to-day companion by C.S. Lewis, the most important Christian writer of the 20th century. The daily meditations have been culled from Lewis’ celebrated signature classics: Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Problem of Pain, Miracles, and A Grief Observed, as well as from the distinguished works The Weight of Glory and The Abolition of Man. Ruminating on such themes as the nature of love, the existence of miracles, overcoming a devastating loss, and discovering a profound Christian faith, A Year with C.S. Lewis offers unflinchingly honest insight for each day of the year.

  〰First Thoughts〰

I have been a fan of C. S. Lewis' theological works since reading The Screwtape Letters and his essay "Meditation on a Toolshed" in 2019.  I was in the thrift store taking a quick view of the books when I saw a hard cover copy of this book for less than $3.00.  I immediately added it to my cart.  Getting to read an excerpt from Lewis each day for the next year is going to be a wonderful treat.

So, what's the first line of the book you're currently reading?
