  • Join to access all included materials

This resource makes accessible the text that portrays the occurrences leading to C.S. Lewis’s finding of God. It encourages the reader to personally reflect upon, and examine Surprised by Joy. The document is divided into two sets where readers can focus on a deep analysis of the text or concentrate on the issues the reading provides—either way the reader is challenged and enlightened . The educator can blend the questions from each section to suit his or her needs.  Some questions are complex enough to develop into essays.
