Quote by C.S. Lewis
“Es curioso que los mortales nos pinten siempre dándoles ideas, cuando, en realidad, nuestro trabajo más eficaz consiste en evitar que se les ocurran cosas. Desvia su mirada de Él hacia ellos mismos. Haz que se dediquen a contemplar sus propias meritos y que traten de suscitar en ellas, por obra de su propia voluntad, sentimientos o sensaciones. Enséñales a medir el valor de cada oración por su eficacia para provocar el sentimiento deseado, y no dejes que lleguen a sospechar hasta qué punto esa clase de éxitos o fracasos depende de que estén sanos o enfermos, frescos o cansados, en ese momento. Los humanos no parten de una percepción directa del Enemigo. Nunca han experimentado esa horrible luminosidad, ese brillo abrasador e hiriente que constituye el fondo de sufrimiento.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
