Quote by C.S. Lewis
“في مقطع يمثل فيه جورج ماكدونلد الله و كأنه يقول للبشر "لابد أن تكونوا أقوياء بقوتي و مباركين بنعيمي، لأنه ليس لدي شيء آخر أعطيه لكم." هذا هو ختام الأمر كله. الله يعطي ما لديه، لا ما ليس لديه: إنه يعطي السعادة الموجودة، ليس السعادة غير الموجودة. فإما أن تكون الله – أو أن تكون مثل الله و تشاركه صلاحه بإستجابة المخلوق – أو أن تكون شقياً بائساً. هذه هي البدائل الثلاث الوحيدة المتاحة. فإذا لم نتعلم أن نأكل الطعام الوحيد الذي يُنبته الكون (ما لدى الله) - الطعام الوحيد الذي يمكن لأي كون أن يُنبته على الإطلاق – فإننا لابد أن نتضور جوعاً إلى الأبد”
― C.S. Lewis ,

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.
