Thirteen Years of Intimate Spiritual Counsel and Correspondence with a Beloved Friend

Spanning thirteen years from 1950 until his death in 1963, C.S. Lewis maintained a regular personal correspondence with an elderly, impoverished American woman named Mary Willis Shelburne. Collected in this volume, Lewis's letters provide a candid look into his daily routines, health struggles, bereavement, and personal faith.

Written with characteristic humor, intellectual clarity, and pastoral warmth, Lewis offers gentle advice on handling grief, physical suffering, prayer, and daily Christian living.

Why You’ll Love This Book

C.S. Lewis offers unscripted wisdom, pastoral empathy, and rare personal reflections. An essential letter collection for C.S. Lewis scholars, theology readers, and fans of Christian letters.
