Jack's Life: The Life Story of C. S. Lewis

Click here for a larger image

Author: Douglas Gresham

Douglas Gresham claims that Jack Lewis was the finest man and the best Christian he has ever known. Of course, Jack to Douglas is C. S. Lewis to the rest of the world. The informal address Gresham uses to refer to the great writer is indicative of the intimacy he shared with Lewis for a dozen years, living in England as Lewis's stepson.

Jack's Life is an affectionate account of days now long gone. It is a personal memoir of a man who touched many in the classroom, even more with his pen, and made a significant, lasting, and eternal impression on one young man. Douglas Gresham is uniquely qualified to offer such an extraordinary portrait.

Feb 21 2006 1:28PM good content
I love C.S. Lewis. So I was excited to pick up his stepson's biography abuot him. It is a good read. Mr. Gresham weaves it together like a story. However, it seems more like a story for children. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but some of the language was quite elementary. There were bits of Lewis' life I really hoped would be brought to greater clarity. Mr. Gresham glossed over Lewis' conversion, briefly touched on the relationship with his (Mr. Gresham's) mother & flew by his books. I have read other biography's of Lewis & was hopeful to get at the heart of the real Lewis, but was taken on a fly-by of his life from 30,000 feet. (A good fly-by, but a fly-by none-the-less). Gresham is a gifted writer, as his mother & stepfather were & hopefully other works (including a more detailed biography) are forthcoming. This is an excellent book for someone wanting to get the life of Lewis in a nutshell & use it perhaps as a launching pad for further study.
On a somewhat seperate vein, I was very disappointed with the publisher. The editing was atrocious. It seemed like they did not even bother to look at a proofed copy. I would be embarrassed if I were Mr. Gresham & had that poor of a job done to my publication. Good book...HORRIBLE editing.

This book was written in way that can only be done by someone who knew C.S. Lewis personally. It painted a picture of a man of God that many have heard of and that cherish his written works. Douglas does a excellent job in writing the story of Jack. You can see Jack's life unfold before you as you read.

Nov 19 2005 9:24PM Doug's recollection is vivid in creating the scenery of the life of CS Lewis.
Learnng more about the man who wrote "Narnia" and how much he loved God gives the reader a greater understanding of his perspective and a deeper appreciation for his writing skills. Knowing how he loved creation, and lived his life as a child in awe with God is inspiring and uplifting. The reality of his life as it is portrayed lets you know the ups and downs one can face, and still trust in the Holy Spirit and miracles.
