Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer

3.5

Lewis's letters to a FICTIONAL friend are a delight to read. (I am amazed at how many reviewers think these are real letters written to a real person!) In these letters, Lewis addresses many different facets of prayer and our inhibitions when it comes to prayer. It is a very quotable book as well. I noticed quite a few recognizable quotes throughout.

A second reading and review of Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer by CS Lewis – I think this is my favorite of Lewis' books. This is both a review and a discussion of the obsession over a narrow orthodoxy that seems to allow older authors like Lewis some lenience, but keeps ‘farewelling' modern authors, artists and musicians. - http://bookwi.se/letters-malcolm-chiefly-prayer-cs-lewis/

Thought provoking but I presume a fictional correspondence between Lewis and a certain Malcom. The two do not agree on how prayer works or how it is supposed to be done. Not even on the outcome or anything at all.
Where it becomes interesting though is in both their struggles with prayer and when one of the two has quite grief to deal with. Then the differences are laid aside comfort is given to the other
