Story5 out of 5 stars 4,945
C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

In these classic essays, which began as talks on the BBC during World War II, Lewis creatively and simply explains the basic tenets of Christianity.

Speech patterns
Although very well spoken, the reader’s voice falls off at the end of some sentences, especially noticed toward ending chapters. This is an issues when the point of the sentence is in the last word of the sentence.

A wonderful listen as allways
C.S. Lewis was an outstanding mind who can reframe complex ideas into relatable prose. I found "Fern Seed and Elephants" particularly interesting, as it puts criticism in perspective.

Some Good Apologetic Thoughts From Lewis
Some classic Lewis insights, much of which has apologetic value. Most of the essays I have found in other Lewis collections; although I think one or two were new to me. I recommend to any Lewis fan and to skeptics open to defenses of the Christian faith.

This Series of Lewis Essays is the Most Complete
Any additional comments?
At the time of this review, there are three Lewis essay collections available on audible, all read (very well) by Ralph Cosham.
1. God in the Dock
2. The Weight of Glory
3. This series of essays taken from the printed Essay Collection & Other Short Pieces, which Audible has broken up into the nine sections of that book. This recording, Aspects of Faith, is just one of those nine.
What I want to tell you is: all of them are good collections and worth having, but if you collect the nine titles described in #3 above, you will have every essay contained in the other two collections except for Rejoinder to Dr. Pittenger and Is Progress Possible. So, unless you are a completist, I would recommend simply collecting the nine in this series Also, this series of nine is better organized, skipping forward exactly one essay each time you click the forward button on your mp3 player or other interface. I believe God in the Dock jumps whole sections forward for each click.
But if you want a short (a half dozen hours or so) introduction to some of the very best Lewis essays, try The Weight of Glory collection. In my opinion, every single essay in that collection is essential Lewis, even Why I Am Not a Pacifist, which, even if not as timely in theme, still contains such great prose and turns of thought that it deserves placement with the broader essays found there.
In every case, don't miss the single essay, The Weight of Glory. That one's about the most exciting thing he ever wrote, in my opinion.

This man's insight never ceases to amaze me.
Truly a gifted man with the talent to see an issue from a variety of perspectives. Mr. Lewis shares his perspective in such a non threatening way that he would earn the respect and attention of even the most devout skeptic! I would be blessed to have even a fraction of his gift.

C. S. Lewis discussion of different topics
I liked this audio book. It is similar to many others from the author, where different topics, discussions, lectures, essays are included. By listening, you wrasp the ideas, concepts and believes that this great thinker develops. It is good to source of knowledge, because this man went from a conscious atheist to a firm believer by having this discussions in his head. Given the topic and profound arguments, this only can be seen as a search for meaning and truth. We all can learn from all those arguments.
The reader does a good job transmitting the ideas. The pronunciation or articulation of words and the speed of reading can be more discipline, especially in very dense or complex parts or areas where the reader is just a bit too fast for the listener to properly follow, but he does a good job.
