Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer

When C.S. Lewis became a Christian as an adult convert, he came with a surrendered heart, but he still needed to learn what being a Christian entailed.  In Letters to Malcolm, we are privileged to receive the mature fruits of Lewis’s life of faith.  In looking at this insightful and considered work, we will benefit from Lewis’s lived understanding of prayer as well as his thoughts on other aspects of the Christian life.

  • Remembering Chuck Colson
    We at the C.S. Lewis Institute give thanks to God for the life of our dear friend and brother, Chuck Colson. He was a great example of wholehearted commitment to Christ and His kingdom for people around the world. And he was also great encourager of our work over the years, as a friend, advisor, and in other ways. Our prayers are with Patty and the family during this difficult time. And with them we carry on in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection. Until then, we continue, as Chuck did, to run with perseverance the race that is set before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.Read More...

  • Ten Letters
    I've been spending more time in prayer lately, feeling convicted that I need to be listening more and being more open to what God is doing and wants to do in my life.  If you’re like me, you go through periods when busyness crowds out discernment, and activities crowd out time to listen.Read More...
