Surprised by Joy

For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography.`In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God … perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.` Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion.`Surprised by Joy` reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis`s entire life.
