After hearing a presentation on the life and works of C. S. Lewis as part of a summer Sunday school curriculum, a handful of eager readers decided to form a C. S. Lewis book club in the fall of 2000.  A dozen books and countless essays later, this inter-denominational group continues to meet at and enjoy the hospitality of Christ United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill, NC.  (If you are in the area and would like to visit the group, use "contact us" to get directions and the next meeting time.)

         Early on, we were able to find study guides for some of Lewis's better known books.  However, when we got to his other works, we were on our own.  These study guides grew out of an attempt to help us identify the key points and provide a springboard for group discussion.
