Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer Audiobook

" I enjoy hearing the thoughts of Lewis on a variety of topics. While I don't dislike this narrator, I like his accent, but I find a lack of warmth that is somewhat of an obstacle. Not too difficult to overcome, a minor hurdle. "

" Questions I never thought to ask. CS Lewis provided thoughts to ponder. "

" C.S. Lewis always challenges your thinking and makes you think outside the box too. This is one of those books that it is good to go back and revisit from time to time. "

" I love Lewis' mellow reflections of his later years. I love the fact that there are parts of this book I really like and parts I would press him on, if we were having coffee together. I love that this is so unlike Mere Christianity. "

" I love CS Lewis. But not this book. Perhaps it was the first chapter. I simply found myself disagreeing with him so often regarding my experience of worship and prayer, that it hard to read the rest of the book with an open mind. I was looking for points of disagreement, not revelation. So it's probably my error in reading, rather than his in writing. Or perhaps it's because any book on prayer written as a dialogue with another person is doomed to fail. Learning the art of sculpture from the conversation between two apprentices is less likely to inform than the conversation between the master and the apprentice. Yes, there are a few nuggets, but not enough to make we want to read this again. "

" While this book at times feels disjointed, as any book of one-sided letters might, it is certainly worth reading for insight into Lewis' thoughts on personal prayer and devotion. He is at times dull and droning, while still snarky and unexpectedly brazen, which Lewis fans have come to expect. "

" Lewis' last and worst book; but Lewis on his worst day is better than most of us on our best day. "

" C.S. Lewis' meditations on prayer, organized as a series of letters to his friend, Malcolm. It is not clear if Malcolm was a real person or not, but the book contains Lewis' wisdom and is very engaging. "

" A beautiful book I think every Christian should read. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed these little glimpses into C.S. Lewis's mind. Some interesting things to think about related to prayer. "

" If one is a reader of Lewis, none of the ideas in this book will be new. Still, it is an interesting meditation on prayer, devotion, and praise. "

" Written like letters to a friend, Lewis's reflections on prayer and Heaven are soothing and prodding all at once. "

" Probably the only useful written material I've come across on prayer-- granted I haven't read that much. It's not really instructional or even conclusive but as would be expected from correspondence, it is a discussion/conversation on prayer. "

" I found this a more difficult read than most of Lewis' stuff, but it has some great insights regarding prayer and our efforts to communicate with God. "

" A treasure trove of one man's thoughts on a difficult but simple subject, conversing with God in a meaningful way. "

" If you are interested in Lewis, this should be on your "to read" list. "

" Outstanding. Read another time in July of 1999. Great. "

" One of the best, most honest, books I've ever read on Prayer. "

" I don't pretend to understand Lewis at all times. Maybe I fail to follow more often than not. But he always provides great food for thought for sure!! "

" Mostly good. Some weirds. Read it. "

" Many interesting insights, often in the shape of ponderings. Some of them are very down to earth and some are very heady. It's like having a deep chat with a friend. "

" Mostly good. Some weirds. Read it. "

" Some of his thoughts on purgatory are a little weird, but CS Lewis's musings on prayer are interesting and chock-full of insights. "

" If one is a reader of Lewis, none of the ideas in this book will be new. Still, it is an interesting meditation on prayer, devotion, and praise. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed these little glimpses into C.S. Lewis's mind. Some interesting things to think about related to prayer. "

" C. S. Lewis is better on almost every subject than almost anyone else on almost anything.My only complaint here is that I feel like it would have been a better book if we'd had Muggeridge's side of the correspondence. Plus, I wanted more. :) "

" C.S. Lewis' meditations on prayer, organized as a series of letters to his friend, Malcolm. It is not clear if Malcolm was a real person or not, but the book contains Lewis' wisdom and is very engaging. "

" The only question I ask myself is why it took so long to lay hold of this gem. The only questionable material, for me, was chapter 20 on praying for the dead and pergatory, otherwise nothin less than wonderfully encouraging. "
