    Classic

    Lewis has a profound gift in putting words to the things of God, in a way the gives us more insight into who He is. The weight of glory is no exception!

    Some ideas on the unseen

    We all love a good C. S. Lewis quote. """". . . I am certain that in passing from the scientific points of view to the theological, I have passed from dream to waking. """" (p. 140, Weight of Glory)\\r\\nI won't lie, it is a difficult book to grasp, and at times it is anyones guess what Lewis is talking about. It's best working slowly through it, allowing it to sink in deep, there are gems on every page. He talks of experiencing God and what it is to feel God's presence. One of my favourite quotes from the book, and one that I believe summates Lewis' point, is """". . . I find that if, during a moment of intense rapture, one tries to turn round and catch by introspection what one is actually feeling, one can never lays one's hand on anything but a physical sensation. """" (p. 96-97)

    A Brilliant Wordsmith

    The absolute highlight of this collection is the title essay """"The Weight of Glory"""". It provided a completely new perspective on the Christian idea of 'glory', and Lewis uses brilliant metaphors and illustrations to captivate the reader. Although my interest in some essays varied, the title essay alone is worth the read. Despite this though, all the essays are well thought-out, logical and beautifully written and leave you thinking for days.
