C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis was an amazing author, but he was also an amazing Christian. When his Mom got cancer and died, he prayed that she would be healed. She was not, and he became bitter at God for a long time. Then, in 1917, he became a student at Oxford University. He loved Oxford, and excelled at it. Some of his friends, including Owen Barfield, talked to him about God and tried to convince him to become a Christian again. He finally did become a Christian. After that he graduated and got married. After being married four years, his wife Joy died. However, C. S. Lewis did not get bitter this time. After that, he went on the write the Chronicles of Narnia and lots of other famous Christian books.
