Not a Tame Lion
by George Grant
As one of the most brilliant, creative minds of the 20th century, C.S. Lewis crossed all literary, philosophical, and religious boundaries. His masterpieces have been studied by scholars, yet they are read and loved by children. This book shows that his life was as compelling as his work, a perspective the recent feature film "Shadowlands" reinforces; it also shows why Lewis' influence continues to our day.
