Quote by C.S. Lewis
“en cada uno, y por supuesto en nosotros mismos también, existe eso que requiere paciencia, comprensión, perdón. La necesidad de practicar esas virtudes nos plantea primero, nos obliga luego a ese necesario esfuerzo de convertir—más estrictamente hablando: dejar a Dios que convierta—nuestro amor natural en caridad. Esas contrariedades yesos roces son beneficiosos. Hasta suele suceder que cuando escasean, la conversión del amor natural se hace más difícil. Cuando son frecuentes, la necesidad de superarlos es obvia. Superarse cuando uno se siente tan plenamente satisfecho y tan poco estorbado como lo pueden permitir las circunstancias terrenas—conseguir ver que debemos elevarnos cuando todo parece estar tan bien—puede requerir una conversión más sutil y una más delicada sensibilidad. De parecida manera le puede ser también difícil al «rico» entrar en el Reino.”

Clive Staples Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. His mother was a devout Christian and made efforts to influence his beliefs. When she died in his early youth her influence waned and Lewis was subject to the musings and mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic and atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian.
C. S. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 and was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English.
Throughout his academic career he wrote clearly on the topic of religion. His most famous works include the Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Narnia. The atmosphere at Oxford and Cambridge tended to skepticism. Lewis used this skepticism as a foil. He intelligently saw Christianity as a necessary fact that could be seen clearly in science.
"Surprised by Joy" is Lewis's autobiography chronicling his reluctant conversion from atheism to Christianity in 1931.
