Made for Heaven

Heaven is not just where we hope to end up, but, according to C. S. Lewis, a dynamic present-day reality that shapes our every choice and action. Lewis’s writings continually return to the theme of heaven as our true home, the land we have been searching for our whole lives, a place where all is finally made right and where all joy in this life leads us.

A collection of the author’s most heartfelt reflections on the deepest truths of Christian life, Made for Heaven presents some of C. S. Lewis’s most beautiful and profound writings on heaven. With selections from The Weight of Glory, The Great Divorce, and The Problem of Pain, this collection illuminates the deep and present hope that lies at the heart of Christianity.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
