Aug 2023: Letters to Malcolm: 1-5

In August 2023 we will discuss Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer. We will focus on the first five letters. Here's a description from The C. S. Lewis Readers' Encyclopedia, entry by Peter Schakel:

This is the last book Lewis wrote; written in April and May of 1963, it was published in 1964, several months after his death. He began a book on prayer in 1952 and worked at it in 1953, but he gave it up early in 1954. A decade later he thought of constructing the book as a series of letters to an imaginary correspondent. Once he found the right form, the book came easily and successfully—indeed many readers regard it as the best of his theological works.
