Currently, this is the book I'm reading. I am on page 50 or so. So far, I find it quite intriguing.

C. S. Lewis was a masterful writer (Chronicles of Narnia). He was an Oxford Don who converted to Xtianity on a bus (a reluctant convert, as he called himself). Mere Christianity is his most accessible book on the subject, and completely brilliant. After that, try The Screwtape letters and Surprised by Joy, then God in the Dock and The Abolition of Man. There's a pub in Oxford called The Eagle and Child (the baby and bird as it's known to locals) where Lewis used to meet for a beer and a smoke of his pipe with his friend Tolkien (who, of course, wrote The Lord of the Rings). There are black and white photos of Lewis, Tolkien et al in the pub. Well worth a visit! Lewis married a woman called Joy Gresham who soon after died of cancer A film was made about it, called Shadowlands. Lewis wrote a book about the experience, called A Grief Observed.

No, but I have read The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis which is very good.

Yes, I also have read the book. Also check out Frederick Buechner or Walter Wangerin.

Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton is good as well.
