I am about halfway done my second listen-through of this book. I have loved the writings of C.S. Lewis immensely over the past number of years. He has always come across as one of the most sane human beings in recent history. Rigney does an amazing job introducing a number of topics that Lewis addresses, and I have found myself thinking long and hard about many things through this book. Very accessible to the lay-reader, and also very helpful to the pastor. Rigney addresses Lewis' writings in a unique way - what it means to become fully human. As we draw nearer to God, we do not become less human, we become more so. This book is well worth your money and your time, and I cannot commend it highly enough.
