Description
What does it mean to glorify God? What does it mean to be an Enjoyer of God? Does it mean we should put controls on ourselves and our personal enjoyment of life? According to C.S. Lewis, our ultimate destiny is to partake in God’s glory because we’re created by God and for God.
The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis is a collection of nine sermons delivered by Lewis during World War II. Lewis’s writings explore the concept of glory and how it relates to our spiritual journey. He presents key discussions that every person should consider:
· The respect we should give each other
· The need for constant learning
· The importance of forgiveness
· The need for collaboration amongst opposing sides
This is a book for C. S. Lewis fans and readers interested in learning more about heaven, Christian theology, and church community. “Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop.” Lewis reminds us in The Weight of Glory that there are no ordinary people and we live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, so we should treat each other like it.
These nine classic sermons, delivered by C.S. Lewis during World War II, offer guidance and inspiration in a time of great doubt. While The Weight of Glory addresses some of the most difficult issues we face in our day-to-day lives, Lewis’s timeless words provide an unparalleled path to greater spiritual understanding. The title sermon, considered by many to be Lewis’s finest, is an incomparable elucidation of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are “Transposition,” “On Forgiveness,” “Why I Am Not a Pacifist,” and “Learning in War-Time.”
Considered by many to be Lewis’s most moving work, The Weight of Glory celebrates a compassionate vision of Christianity and includes rational and compelling discussions on forgiveness and death.
