Ron Brind Posts: 19041 Joined: 26th Oct 2003 Location: England | quotePosted at 22:42 on 4th September 2013 Lots of information re a truly great man is available in my ebook that is available via Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVRJM58 and on my new C S Lewis website at http://www.CSLewisInOxford.com Unfortunately there is little or nothing being done for C S Lewis in Oxford and it's my opinion that the Councils should be ashamed of themselves. Again, my opinion is that the former home (the KIlns) should be made a listed building and it should not be owned by the somewhat obscure foundation in Redlands, California. It's part of Britain's Chritian Heritage and I want it back! Another shock, but you can say you heard it here first members: C S Lewis should be known as Saint C S Lewis, or Saint Lewis! Maybe not in my lifetime, but stated here first, publicly on the best website on the net bar none, POE!

Further, what he continues to do for the world having once read his works. Okay, some of it is hard to grasp, and might make you think a bit, but a good start for anybody would be 'Mere Christianity' and 'A Grief Observed'. There are plenty more of course...

Watch this space, another 'you heard it here first' on POE the very best England site on the net bar none, the site that is 'always' in touch with the people, simply because of it's fantastic membership. |

They even got my address wrong, I will see if I can find it. |
