Description
As part of the repackaged and rebranded C.S. Lewis Signature Classic range, this title in which Lewis answers the question, `Do miracles really happen?' will have obvious appeal to the growing spirituality market.
`The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this.'
This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.
Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists and cynics who are mired in their lack of imagination and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really fo occur in our everyday lives.

Reviews / Votes
`...a brilliant book, abounding in lucid exposition and illuminating metaphor.' Observer`This is Dr Lewis's most substantial and persuasive essay in Christian apologetics, and it is all the more impressive because it is the work of a poet as well as a philosopher.' Church Times
