it was amazing
bookshelves: religious-fiction, kharabshi-recommendations

I was amazed at how spot on C. S. Lewis was regarding the human psyche and our motivations. I almost felt like I was reading a fictionized version of the Darqawi Letters. Highly recommended for any man (or woman) of religion who is in need of an entertaining, yet highly revealing, presentation of the fight between men and their egos.

Asim Bakhshi Been on my wishlist since years and years. I'll now read it immediately now that you have recommended it too.

Lumumba Shakur It's a wonderful piece. Lewis' mentions that when they asked him to make a sequel, he delayed doing so as much as possible since the initial writing required him to be in a particular frame of mind.
