C. S. Lewis (Clive Staples Lewis) is simply a theological genius in my book. Mere Christianity? Excellent. The Screwtape Letters? Timeless. The Chronicles of Narnia? Meaningful. Prophets and apostles quote him frequently, and for good reason. He offers incredible insights into religion and personal spirituality. Here are 13 of my favorite C. S. Lewis proverbs, provided by the Twitter account @CSLewisDaily, that I would be totally fine with canonizing as scripture right now.
