C.S. Lewis - discover his great authorship
If you haven't read any books written by C.S Lewis you still got the chance. In my early teens I discovered one of his "easy-to-read" books in my fathers bookshelf; The Screwtape Letters. This fiction novel is both entertaining and meaningful - more precisely it is about letters from a senior devil to an incompetent junior devil. His apologetic works including "Miracles" was challenging reading during my studies at the University. C.S Lewis presents clear thoughts and strong logical arguments in his attemt to explain the natural exigency of the supernatural realm. For norwegian readers I recomend this article by Jon Vegard Hugaas at bt.no C.S Lewis - skeptikernes apostel. And by the way - why not read the books about Narnia before the next coming films based on this masterpiece. For more info - go to the article about C.S Lewis including his bibliography at Wikipedia.

Johnny!
I have found you - tracked you down like a fox.
How are you my good friend! Drop us a line when you get time, it would be great to hear from you.
As for Mr C.S. Lewis, I too am a fan and as a youth read his book 'Mere Christianity' which really challenged my thinking on a lot of things. A great writer...but the recent film let his novels down by changing a lot of the original dialogue - never mind!
Anyway, keep on blogging and I'll keep on reading
Take it easy my laid back friend

Congratulations, Johnny! Finally your blog can be found. I'm still thinking, considering, wondering what my blog should be like. A "Bible Snacks" blog, an apologetic blog, a blog against the forces that are trying to destroy the Norwegian language, a music blog, a blog about irritating stuff or several of these topics? I'm pretty sure I won't be writing a public diary, and I'm happy to see that you're not doing that either.
