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.
My Father Was a Gangster
One of the most fascinating conversion stories of the 20th century, My Father Was a Gangster tells the dramatic life story of Jim Vaus, the former associate of crime syndicate boss Mickey Cohen. Rarely, if ever, has there been another story of a gangster who turned so radically from a life of organized crime to a life focused on leading others to Christ. In this book, son Will Vaus tells the inside story of his father s nefarious life in the syndicate and describes how close his father came to being caught for devising a scheme that was later said to have been the inspiration for the movie, The Sting . Just before carrying out his plan, Jim Vaus was persuaded to drop into the famous Billy Gr...
In the Footsteps of C. S. Lewis
Over the course of thirty years, Will Vaus has journeyed to the British Isles many times to walk in the footsteps of C. S. Lewis. His private photographs of the significant places in Lewis' life have captured the imagination of audiences in the US and UK to whom he has lectured on the Oxford don and his work. This, in turn, prompted the idea of this collection of 76 full-color photographs, interwoven with details about Lewis' life and work. The combination of words and pictures make this book a wonderful addition to the library of all Lewis scholars and readers. "Vaus' pictorial guide provides a thorough survey of the places Lewis called home - both the usual sites and many seldom seen. His landscape and architecture photographs show how remarkably little things have changed in over fifty years. In the Footsteps of C. S. Lewis is a visual delight and a welcome reference." Larry Fink, photographer for the book GEORGE MACDONALD: IMAGES OF HIS WORLD
A Severe Mercy
Beloved, profoundly moving account of the author's marriage, the couple's search for faith and friendship with C. S. Lewis, and a spiritual strength that sustained Vanauken after his wife's untimely death.
Speaking of Jack
SPEAKING OF JACK is the result of Will Vaus' experience in leading three different C. S. Lewis societies. Includ¬ed here are introductions to most of Lewis' books as well as questions de¬signed to stimulate discussion. These materials have been "road tested" with groups made up of young and old, some very familiar with Lewis and some newcomers. SPEAKING OF JACK can be used in high school or college courses, an existing book discussion group or Sunday school class, to start a C. S. Lewis Society or as a guide to your own exploration of Lewis' books. "With the growing interest in C.S. Lewis, the time has come for a one-volume study guide to 40 of his books. SPEAKING OF JACK is a great resource for individuals and particularly for Lewis reading groups. Sim¬ple enough for newcomers, but even experienced Lewisians will benefit from Will Vaus' encyclopedic knowledge." - Dr. Joel Heck, author of Irrigating Deserts: C. S. Lewis on Education *** About the Author: Will Vaus is the author of The Hidden Story of Narnia: A Book-by-Book Guide to C. S. Lewis' Spiritual Themes, Mere Theology, and The Professor of Narnia.
God's Love Letter: Reflections on I John
If you had to describe the message of the Bible in one word, what word would you choose? Author Will Vaus suggests that "love" is what the Bible is all about; it is a love story between God and human beings. As such, it displays all the characteristics of a human love story: falling in love, jealousy, heartbreak, sacrifice, faithful endurance, separation, and glorious reunion. The message of the Bible is that the greatest need of every human being can be met, and that is the need for love.[p] The Bible has sometimes been called "God's Love Letter," and in a sense that is quite true. The word "love" in various forms appears over five hundred times in the sixty-six books of Holy Scripture. Out...

Gateway to Heaven

C.S. Lewis' Top Ten: Influential Books and Authors, Volume Two
What made bestselling author C. S. Lewis such a great writer with so many admirers? One answer to that question is Lewis' vast reading across the entire canon of Western literature, from Homer and the Bible to some lesser-known works of the early twentieth century. Before one can become a great writer, one must be a great reader. In 1962, an interviewer asked Lewis: "What books did most to shape your vocational attitude and your philosophy of life?" In response, Lewis offered the following top ten list: 1.Phantastes by George MacDonald 2.The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton 3.The Aeneid by Virgil 4. The Temple by George Herbert 5. The Prelude by William Wordsworth 6. The Idea of the Holy ...
