Rating: Summary: Great Writings, Minor Publishing Problem Review: The Signature Classics appeal to the rational mind the way the Narnia Series appeals to the imagination. For many Christians who grew up in the faith, trying to converse with non-believers is like trying to describe colors to a blind person. C.S. Lewis helps both believers and non-believers understand the Rationality of Faith. Having these works collected in a single volume is quite a treasure and belongs on the bookself (or in the hands) of every Christian.So far the only two complaints I have with this edition are quite minor. The first is the size of the volume. I would have preferred the publishers had added more pages and decreased the highth and depth to make it more easily fit with other books when resting on the shelf between readings. The second is that they (very nicely) provided a ribbon book mark but THREE would have been even nicer. Many of these writings are very dense and need to be consumed (or re-consumed) in small increments. Switching from one to another allows the mind to digest the material before continuing, and having several bookmarks is almost a necessity. These problems are minor, however. I can not overstate how much I enjoy having this book in my home. Over and over again as I read through this book I find myself astounded with Lewis' insight and clarity. This is definitely a book to buy, to keep, and to read.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: This collection is excellent. C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest Christian thinkers of the 20th century and it shows through in his writing. Having all of his key works together in one volume is nice when studying Lewis' views on Christianity and society. It makes for easy comparison. The volume is also nicely bound with a marker. For anyone wishing to explore Christian thought I would highly recommend this collection.
