Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis | Led by Dr. David Woods In this spiritual autobiography, C.S. Lewis traces the surprising path by which his deepest longings led him from atheism to Christian faith. More than a memoir, the book explores the nature of desire itself and the human search for meaning, beauty, and truth. Parents will find in Lewis a thoughtful guide to understanding how God often works through imagination, friendship, literature, and life's unexpected experiences. Reading this text invites us to consider how our own longings point beyond themselves toward the One for whom we were made.
