What if a single author's imagination could fundamentally alter the way you see the world? Alister McGrath — Oxford theologian and acclaimed biographer of C.S. Lewis — argues precisely that, presenting a rich and accessible guide to the ideas, themes, and spiritual vision woven throughout Lewis's beloved works, from the enchanted landscapes of Narnia to the razor-sharp apologetics of Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters. McGrath illustrates how Lewis's writing operates on multiple levels simultaneously — entertaining the imagination while quietly reshaping one's deepest assumptions about meaning, morality, and faith. Drawing on his unparalleled scholarly expertise, McGrath unpacks the deep magic embedded in Lewis's prose, revealing how metaphor, myth, and narrative conspire to make profound truths feel not merely persuasive, but inevitable. For both lifelong devotees and curious newcomers, this work leaves one question unanswered: once you see through Lewis's eyes, can you ever truly look away?
