About this listen

In the form of warm, relaxed letters to a close friend, C. S. Lewis meditates on many puzzling questions concerning the intimate dialogue between man and God. He considers practical and metaphysical aspects of prayer, such as when we pray and where. He questions why we seek to inform God in our prayers if he is omniscient, whether there is an ideal form of prayer, and which of our many selves we show to God while praying. The concluding letter contains provocative thoughts about “liberal Christians,” the soul, and resurrection.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898 - 1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. His major contributions in literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than 30 books, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include the Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

C.S.Lewis. Always one of the very best.

Would you listen to Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer again? Why?

I always find CSL inspired work to be fascinating and worthy of many repeated listening. There's always something to reconsider, ponder and memorise.

Got me thinking about what I aim to do when I pray

The performance is excellent. I will listen to this performance again. The last 2 letters gave me much to ponder upon.

There are good lessons but a bit hard to follow

I'm not sure if the book had a bit of a meandering plot or I was just too confused to follow with ease lol use of language not very avg user friendly.
