Book Description
Letters to Malcolm is a thoughtful and conversational exploration of Christian prayer, written in the form of letters to a fictional correspondent named Malcolm. In a relaxed, questioning tone, C. S. Lewis reflects on topics such as petitionary prayer, ritual, liturgy, silence, doubt, and the difficulties of sustaining a prayer life. Less structured than his formal apologetic works, the book offers an intimate glimpse into Lewis’s mature thinking, marked by humility, honesty, and intellectual openness.

 

About Author

C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British writer, literary scholar, and Christian apologist, best known for The Chronicles of Narnia series. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Lewis was educated at Oxford University, where he later became a fellow and tutor in English literature at Magdalen College. His academic work focused on medieval and Renaissance literature, while his fiction and nonfiction explored theology, morality, imagination, and myth.

Lewis achieved worldwide fame with The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956), a series of children’s fantasy novels that combine adventure with philosophical and Christian themes. He also wrote influential theological works such as Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Problem of Pain. Known for his clarity, wit, and imaginative power, Lewis remains one of the most widely read and discussed authors of the 20th century, with a lasting impact on literature, fantasy, and religious thought.
