Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived, they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. --Acts 4:13 I am not a theologian. I don't have a college degree, sorry. I'm a high school graduate and didn't go to college but would have gone if I could have afforded it. I became a born-again Christian at twenty-two. From reading the Bible from beginning to end, and walking around New Brunswick, Canada, God took me into the wilderness. This book has a list of things that I've taken from the Bible and applied. I made the list to remind myself daily what I should want to do. So this is purely for me and from me. This doesn't mean you have to change your list, but as time goes on, you'll refine it for yourself. I feel that it is a good template either way. These are the things I want to do every day, and there is a small list of things not to do. I suggest you make your own list of the things you want to do or copy mine into a small notebook so you can read them every day. Definitely make one of your own lists of what not to do. My don'ts and your don'ts may not be completely different, but there will be some differences. This book is, above all, about praying to God about everything, reading the Bible, getting closer to him, and being in his will. I believe we, as born-again Christians, are here for the Lord to do work through us and to do his will.

Download or read book The Fame of C S Lewis written by Stephanie L. Derrick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis, long renowned for his children's books as well as his Christian apologetics, has been the subject of wide interest since he first stepped-up to the BBC's microphone during the Second World War. Until now, however, the reasons why this medievalist began writing books for a popular audience, and why these books have continued to be so popular, had not been fully explored. In fact Lewis, who once described himself as by nature an 'extreme anarchist', was a critical controversialist in his time-and not to everyone's liking. Yet, somehow, Lewis's books directed at children and middlebrow Christians have continued to resonate in the decades since his death in 1963. Stephanie L. Derrick considers why this is the case, and why it is more true in America than in Lewis's home-country of Britain. The story of C. S. Lewis's fame is one that takes us from his childhood in Edwardian Belfast, to the height of international conflict during the 1940s, to the rapid expansion of the paperback market, and on to readers' experiences in the 1980s and 1990s, and, finally, to London in November 2013, where Lewis was honoured with a stone in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey. Derrick shows that, in fact, the author himself was only one actor among many shaping a multi-faceted image. The Fame of C. S. Lewis is the most comprehensive account of Lewis's popularity to date, drawing on a wealth of fresh material and with much to interest scholars and C. S. Lewis admirers alike.
