9 Inspirational C.S. Lewis Quotes

C.S. Lewis is one of the most widely-adored theologians of the last century. His journey from atheism to Christianity provided him with unique insights that  inspired Christians and non-Christians alike to see God, faith, and life with fresh eyes.

Lewis is far and away the most searched author on Logos.com, and for the first time ever, his collected works are coming to the Logos format. So when you search across your library for insight on humility, grief, courage, and more, you’ll find inspiration from one of the twentieth century’s most cherished theologians.

Here are nine powerful C.S. Lewis quotes:
