The Glittering Illusion
"Mr. Sheldon Vanauken has shown a singular consistency in pursuing an idea that was originally the subject of his graduate research at Oxford University to its presentation in this volume. Mr. Vanauken believes -- and there is a good deal of evidence to support him -- that English sympathies during the American Civil War were largely on the Southern side of the conflict. British intervention would have secured a Southern victory which might have suited British commercial interests and British conceptions of the balance of power and put an end to American hopes of annexing Canada. Support for the South would have conformed to the general British disposition to give credence to struggles for n...
Sheldon Vanauken
The life story of Sheldon Vanauken is one of adventure, romance, conversion, grief, and recovery. Much of this was chronicled in the autobiographical bestseller, A Severe Mercy.However, a good deal of Vanauken's fascinating life remained shrouded in secrecy ... until now. Through a process of careful historical research, including interviews with Vanauken's many friends, colleagues, and students, Will Vaus reveals to the reader the numerous facets of a complex character. In this biography we discover: Vanauken the struggling student, the bon-vivant lover, the sailor who witnessed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the seeker who returned to faith through C. S. Lewis, the beloved professor of Engli...
Gateway to Heaven
"Gateway to Heaven tells of a memorable journey to France, the Vallances' stormy sea voyage from London to the Greek Isles, where Mary falls into frightful danger; an idyllic vacation in Hawaii, their response to the antiwar movement, the drug culture, and sexual freedom in the confusion of the sixties" --
Summary of Sheldon Vanauken's A Severe Mercy
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The country road stretched ahead, deserted. A single car, an MG-TD two-seater, was creeping along with its lights off and its top down. The driver looked intently at every tree and contour. The few houses were dark and silent, for it was long past midnight. #2 He stood on the bridge and looked at the house. It was large and white and spacious, exactly like he remembered it. He wondered what it would be like to live there. He did not go any farther. #3 He thought of the house he had known as a child, and the people who had lived there. He thought of his father, who had been the permanent mayor of his town. #4 The author’s father, a ghost watcher, was a deep influence on him. He had always wanted to go to Oxford, and when in the end he went up, it seemed both right and inevitable.
The Helper
After an intense study of the Holy Spirit, Catherine Marshall wrote The Helper, detailing lessons she learned by living them out. She offers forty inspirational "helps," or readings, that contain Scripture, a prayer, and insight into the provocative third person of the Godhead. Also included are the answers Marshall discovered to questions like: Ž Who is the Helper? Ž How do I experience the Helper's presence? Ž How does the Helper meet everyday needs? Ž What is the Helper's role and function in the Church? The forty "helps" are ideal as a devotional guide for the forty days of Lent and for group or individual study. Just as the power of the Holy Spirit is needed every day to help us cope with the problems and complexities of life, so The Helper is a book for all seasons, with total sales of more than 1.2 million.
Theism and Humanism
In 1962, Christian Century asked C. S. Lewis to name the books that had most influenced his thought. Among those Lewis listed was Theism and Humanism, the published version of Arthur J. Balfour's 1914 Gifford Lectures at the University of Glasgow. Long out of print, the book is now available in this newly typeset and greatly enhanced edition.
Mere Theology
Will Vaus masterfully brings together Lewis's thought from throughout his voluminous writings to provide us a full-orbed look into his beliefs on twenty-five Christian themes.
