Si Dios No Escuchase – (Spanish)
$15.99Compuestas como una coleccion de envios ficticios a su amigo Malcolm, Si Dios no escuchase: Cartas a Malcolm acerca de la oracion considera esta muestra basica de devocion en su forma, contenido y regularidad, y las maneras en que refleja nuestra fe y moldea nuestra forma de creer.
En esta edicion de la ficticia coleccion de cartas de C. S. Lewis, el venerado autor reflexiona sobre la naturaleza de la oracion: que es, como funciona y como debe practicarse. La oracion es un don puro, un gran regalo de Dios. Asi lo entiende tambien Lewis. Con su brillantez habitual, el autor utiliza su correspondencia con otro intelectual para arrojar luz sobre cuestiones como:
*Cual es el valor de la oracion?
*Es la oracion un soliloquio que nadie escucha?
*Que ocurre realmente cuando oramos?
*Tiene sentido orar por los difuntos?
*Por que es importante la liturgia?En sus argumentos, Lewis muestra una fuerte conviccion y, al mismo tiempo, una gran sensibilidad y comprension hacia las debilidades y temores del hombre. Aunque Lewis nunca pretendio que este fuera un libro de instrucciones sobre como orar, descubrio que el formato de correspondencia le permitia compartir sus reflexiones de forma dinamica y personal.
Si Dios no escuchase: Cartas a Malcom acerca de la oracion fue el ultimo libro que termino C. S. Lewis. Publicado postumamente en enero de 1964, tres meses despues de su muerte, es uno de los mejores libros de Lewis, aunque quiza no uno de los mas conocidos.
Letters To Malcom: Chiefly on Prayer
Composed as a collection of fictitious dispatches to his friend, Malcolm, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer considers this basic display of devotion in its form, content, and regularity, and the ways it both reflects our faith and shapes how we believe.
In this edition of C. S. Lewis’s fictitious collection of letters, the revered author ruminates on the nature of prayer–what it is, how it works, and how it should be practiced. Prayer is a pure gift, a great gift from God. This is also how Lewis understands it. With his usual brilliance, the author uses his correspondence with another intellectual to shed light on questions such as:
*What is the value of prayer?
*Is prayer a soliloquy that no one listens to?
*What is happening when we pray?
*Does it make sense to pray for the deceased?
*Why is liturgy important?In his arguments, Lewis shows a strong conviction and, at the same time, a great sensitivity and understanding for the weakne

Cartas En Latin De C S Lewis A – (Spanish)
$13.99Aficionados de C.S Lewis disfrutaran de este gran trabajo historico con comentarios sobre cartas entre grandes eclesiasticos en temas de divinidad, guerras, la iglesia y oraciones.
En septiembre de 1947, tras leer Cartas del diablo a su sobrino, el padre Giovanni Calabria se sintio impulsado a escribirle al autor, pero no sabia ingles, de modo que lo hizo en latin. Asi comenzo una correspondencia que sobreviviria al propio padre Calabria (murio en diciembre de 1954 y le sucedio en la correspondencia el padre Luigi Pedrollo).
El traductor y editor Martin Moynihan califica estas cartas de “limpidas, fluidas y profundamente refrescantes. Tambien poseen un gran encanto, sobre todo por la forma en que se inician y concluyen, es decir, por los variopintos formalismos que se emplean para presentarlas o para despedirse”.
Las Cartas en latin de C. S. Lewis a Don Giovanni Calabriamuestran, mas que otras de sus publicaciones, la fuerte faceta devocional de Lewis y contienen temas que van desde la unidad de los cristianos y la historia moderna de Europa hasta la liturgia y el comportamiento etico general. Ademas, adquieren a menudo un caracter intimo y personal.
Fans of C.S. Lewis will enjoy this great historical work with commentaries on letters between great ecclesiastics on the subjects of divinity, war, the church and prayer.
In September 1947, after reading C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters in Italian, Fr. (now St.) Giovanni Calabria was moved to write the author, but he knew no English and assumed (rightly) that Lewis knew no Italian. So, he wrote his letter in Latin, hoping that, as a classicist, Lewis would know Latin. Therein began a correspondence that was to outlive Fr. Calabria himself (he died in December 1954, and was succeeded in correspondence by Fr. Luigi Pedrollo, which continued until Lewis’s own death in 1963).
Translator/editor Martin Moynihan calls these letters “limpid, fluent and deeply refreshing. There was a charm about them, too, and not least in the way they were ‘topped and tailed’ — that is, in their ever-slightly-varied formalities of address and of farewell.”
More than any other of his published works The Latin Letters shows the strong devotional side of Lewis and contains letters ranging from Christian unity and modern European history to liturgical worship and general ethical behavior.

Personal Heresy : A Controversy
$16.99A repackaged edition of the revered author’s set of dueling critical essays with fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard in which they debate the role of an author’s biography in the critical appraisal of literature. C. S. Lewis–the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics–challenges fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard on one of the most intriguing questions involving writers and writing. Is a work of imaginative literature primarily influenced by the author or by the subject matter? Lewis argues that the author’s own personality and biography has little to no impact on the writing, while Tillyard contends the opposite: that the author’s own imagination and story have an indelible influence on a piece of work. Clever, erudite, and enlightening, their debate may not definitively settle the issue, but it does offer invaluable insight and intellectual delight for all dedicated readers”
