C. S. Lewis is perhaps the most beloved modern Christian author. From The Chronicles of Narnia to Mere Christianity, his works have enthralled readers of all ages. Yet, though numerous books have been written about Lewis's life and his dramatic conversion to Christianity, none have asked the important question of how he grew spiritually. Lyle Dorsett sets out to answer that question in Seeking the Secret Place. Drawing on Lewis's books, letters, and interviews with his contemporaries, Dorsett reveals how Lewis's faith grew on a steady diet of Scripture, prayer, and the sacraments--not only to show how his faith developed but to encourage readers on the path to spiritual growth. C. S. Lewis fans and anyone looking to grow spiritually will value this book.… (more)

Spiritual Formation Part 1 Notes
This is first part of a series of notes I took on this topic in a lecture given by Dr. Dorsett at Perimeter Church in ATL. This first section includes the "School of Prayer" concept and Lewis' view on the Scriptures.

Spiritual Formation Part 2 Notes
Part 2 covers the church, Father Walter Adams, and Helen Joy Davidman along with random questions and the importance of worship.

This book was a very inspiring look at the spiritual life of C.S. Lewis. I found it to be fascinating. It is informative, drawing not only from Lewis's books and letters, but even from personal interviews with many people with whom he corresponded. I was so impacted by the book, I wrote a lengthy review of it on Amazon. ( )
