[Miss Marple]

I have been re-reading the books. I last read them when my daughter was young, and had forgotten some of the details of the books. It struck me that quite a few difficult ideas are discussed in those books, and explained in such a way that one can begin to understand them, even if one is quite young.

LionsDaughter began reading the series when she was five. Yes, reading them on her own! Hence, her name LionsDaughter comes from being a daughter of God, the Lion.

I think my favorite Lewis book is The Screwtape Letters with the essay Screwtape Proposes a Toast appended. I see so many of my besetting sins in there. Also, Lewis makes a great point about false humility and of being proud about how humble one is! LOL! I have found particularly helpful the idea of a thing not being "good" or "bad" by itself but whether it moves one closer or farther away from God. Now, somethings are good or bad (murder is bad), but other things are kinda gray (should I spend time reading this book or that book?).
