Synopsis

Do Miracles Really Happen?In Miracles, C.S. Lewis argues that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his charismatic warmth, lucidity, and wit, Lewis challenges the rationalists and cynics who are mired in their lack of imagination and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really do occur in everyday lives.

About C. S. Lewis

It is a lofty goal, but many would be pleased if the work they accomplished would last well after their death, and be lauded with posthumous praise. Such is what happened to British author Clive Staples Lewis. He was born on November 29, 1898 and passed on November 22, 1963...... just prior to his 65th birthday. It was 2013 on the 50th Anniversary of Lewis' death, that he was honored by being given a memorial in Poet's Corner in West minister Abbey.

Lewis wore many professional hats......that of novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. His best known work is The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. He is the author of more than 30 books, translated into over 30 languages. As we are all aware, The Chronicles of Narnia had tremendous sales numbers and have been made popular on stage, TV, radio, and cinema.

Lewis married American author, Joy Davidman, in 1956, but sadly, she passed away only four years later from cancer at only 45 years old. Lewis then died in 1963 of renal failure.

A book in which one of the best selling, if not the best selling Christian writer of the Twentieth Century, C.S. Lewis shares his thoughts and rationale on 'miracles' founded on the idea that Christians should not only believe and honour miracles, but should rejoice in these 'supernatural' works exe......more

Goodreads review by Tim on May 25, 2010

My inveterate hatred of magazines began during my sophomore year of college. I was at a friend's apartment, waiting for him to get out of the shower, when I noticed a TIME magazine on his coffee table. It had a big picture of Jesus on it, with the headline "What Do We Really Know About Jesus?" At the......more

Most people here on Goodreads will have had the experience of meeting an intelligent, witty, well-informed person who holds views that you absolutely do not agree with, but who defends them with imagination and force. This can often lead to extraordinarily enjoyable discussions, even if, at the end,......more

Goodreads review by Ross on December 20, 2021

C.S. Lewis is best known for his Chronicles of Narnia children's book series, but still holds immense sway in the Christian community for his theological writings. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say, 58 years after his death (he died on the same day as JFK), that Lewis ranks chief among Apolo......more

Goodreads review by Old Dog on March 06, 2023

Coming back to Lewis is like coming back to your own bed after a long trip. His prose is comfortable and familiar, and his reasoning is sound. Miracles is an incredibly well thought out argument for not only the existence of miracles, but also the existence of God, as well as a rebuttal of the natur......more
