Thought this was awesome. I discovered that 1 of my favorite authors was greatly influenced by 1 of my very favorite authors. John Piper wrote at length about the influence that C. S. Lewis writings had on him. This is a very small excerpt: He helped me see what is there in the world - things that, if we didnt have, we would pay a million dollars to have, but having them, ignore. He made me more alive to beauty. He put my soul on notic that there are daily wonders that will waken worhsip if I open my eyes. He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror.
