Ruth’s Library Pick for July

Lewis, Clive Staples.  The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses.  New York: Macmillan, 1975.  Paperback.
Location: Section 9

When I found this little gem in the library and opened it up, I was astonished to find that it has never been checked out of our library.  But if you are a fan of C.S. Lewis, you’ll want to be first in line!  The Weight of Glory is a collection of nine essays that Lewis delivered to various audiences from 1939 to 1956.  The first essay, the title essay, discusses what it means for a Christian to desire the glory of heaven, and how that “glory” may be defined.  But don’t stop there; my personal favorites are the last two essays, On Forgiveness and A Slip of the Tongue, which both contain remarkable insights into human nature and God’s Word.  So – I encourage you to pick this one up.  You’ll find it on the bottom shelf in Section 9.
