Quote by C.S. Lewis
“En la amistad creemos haber elegido a nuestros iguales, y en realidad cualquier casualidad podría habernos mantenido separados. Pero para un cristiano, estrictamente hablando, no hay casualidades. Un secreto Maestro de Ceremonias ha entrado en acción. Cristo, que dijo a sus discípulos: «Vosotros no me habéis elegido a Mí, sino que Yo os elegí a vosotros», puede realmente decir a cada grupo de amigos cristianos: «Vosotros no os habéis elegido unos a otros, sino que Yo os he elegido a unos para otros». La amistad no es una recompensa por nuestra capacidad de elegir y por nuestro buen gusto de encontrarnos unos a otros, es el instrumento mediante el cual Dios revela a cada uno las bellezas de todos los demás. Como todas las bellezas, estas proceden de Él. En este festín es Él quien ha preparado la mesa y elegido a los invitados. Es Él, nos atrevemos a esperar, quien a veces preside, y siempre tendría que poder hacerlo. No somos nada sin nuestro Huésped.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
