C. S. Lewis' Books
 

Abolition Of Man
Lewis uses his graceful prose, delightful humor, and keen understanding of the human mind to challenge our notions about how to best teach our children- and ourselves- not merely reading and writing, but also a sense of morality. (Simon & Schuster)
 
The Great Divorce
Lewis's vision of the Afterword. The narrator boards a bus on a drizzly English afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, and comes to some significant conclusions about good and evil. (Simon & Schuster)
 
A Grief Observed
The personal anguished story of the death of Lewis's wife. The author shares an intense account of the meaning of death with wit and insight. (Ingram)
 
Mere Christianity
With a full outline of the text and brief but detailed commentary, this book will give readers an upper hand in uncovering and clarifying the many nuances and complex theological points revealed in Lewis' book.(Ingram)
 
Miracles
C.S. Lewis trains his impeccable logic on the question of miracles, setting up a philosophical framework for the proposition that supernatural events can happen in this world. Focusing his inquiry on the feasibility of miracles in general, rather than on anecdotal evidence for specific miracles, Lewis builds a solid and compelling argument for the acceptance of divine intervention. 
 
The Problem Of Pain
C.S. Lewis, the master apologist, tackles the question that has plagued humanity for centuries. If God is both omnipotent and good, how can we explain the pain and suffering that people experience daily? And what of the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? With compassion and insight, C.S. Lewis proposes reasonable answers to these critical theological problems, sharing his wisdom with those who seek true understanding. (Simon & Schuster) 
 
The Screwtape Letters
This is a humorous correspondence between the devil Screwtape and his apprentice Wormwood, whose job is to produce a human's soul for eternity in hell. Filled with astute insights into temptation, repentance, and grace, this wonderful tale intelligently explores what it means to live a good, honest life.(Ingram)
