C.S. Lewis, an Irish-born British writer, is one of the world's most influential Christian thinkers and writers. He's written 30 books, and some of my favorites are The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, Surprised by Joy, A Grief Observed, and Till We Have Faces.
Several years ago when we took a group of SMSU students on a Global Studies trip to England and France, it was a thrill to eat at the same pub in Oxford, The Eagle and Child, where Lewis hung out with his literary friends, "The Inklings," including J.R.R. Tolkien.
Here's a quote by Lewis I just came across:
"We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad." -C.S. Lewis
What are you trying to hatch in your writing life? What Lewis books have made an impact on you?
