C. S. Lewis is one of my heroes of the Christian faith, and he may be one of yours too. C. S. Lewis is an inspiration to all who have read his books. As children, many of us were introduced to his Chronicles of Narnia series. As adults, we read and reread his insightful works about the Christian faith. In my books, many of his quotes are underlined and bolded. They are wisdom-filled gems, words to live by.
