C.S. Lewis, the
noted Irish author and devout Christian had the wonderful capability of captivating
the minds of children and declaring to the world the depth of his strong Anglo-Catholic
faith.
In addition to his career as an English professor and an author of fiction, Lewis is regarded by many as perhaps one of the most influential Christian apologists of his time. He authored the classic, Mere Christianity, which was voted best book of the twentieth century by Christianity Today in 2000.
All being said it is due to Lewis's approach to religious belief as a skeptic, and his following conversion, he has been called by many, "The Apostle to the Skeptics."

We submit that
the following is perhaps one of the most
salient of his offerings.
“The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose. If it even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other purpose.”
- Clive Staples Lewis
