That Hideous Strength - The Space Trilogy - C. S. Lewis - Part III
number6of1A world in distress, stressed out couples and singles, shadowy organizations and the people behind them, fear, terror, dystopia. That Hideous Strength - By C. S. Lewis - The final entry in The Space Trilogy, and the darkest of the three. Lewis weaves quite a tale in these three books, especially the third. Throughout, he mixes in his Christian beliefs, but he also weaves in a healthy helping of fairy tale for good measure. We even get to see a hint at the coming World Economic Forum, the W.E.F. and the evil behind it. This time, we are mostly following the adventures of Mark and Jane Studdock, and the traps they fall into, and yes, our old friend, Elwin Ransom makes an appearance, actually more than an appearance. And then there is the somewhat prophetic side of this story, which boils down to a warning against scientism, when scientists and the autocrats who love them would rule the world. This story is the follow - on to Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, all three books work together as a whole, but all three are also comfortably stand-alone.

Perelandra - C. S. Lewis - The Space Trilogy - C. S. Lewis - Part II
A Few Good Book ReviewsPerelandra By C. S. Lewis - A Quick Review A New Eden A New Adam A New Eve The Same old Serpent, but in New Skin, up to the same old tricks. Will he win again, or lose this time? Perelandra was first published in 1943, and follows Cambridge scholar Elim Ransom's continuing interplanetary adventures. This is a follow - on to the review of Out Of The Silent Planet I released a month ago. That review can be found here: https://rumble.com/v13tnaj-out-of-the-silent-planet-c.-s.-lewis-reviewed-briefly.html Part Three, That Hideous Strength is here: https://rumble.com/v52ao7s-that-hideous-strength-c.-s.-lewis-the-space-trilogy-part-iii.html455 views 2 comments -
Out Of The Silent Planet - The Space Trilogy - C. S. Lewis - Part I
A Few Good Book ReviewsC. S. Lewis was not known for writing Science Fiction Stories, he is better known as a Christian Apologist. However, he wrote a trilogy known as "The Space Trilogy." This is my thoughts on Lewis and the first book in the series: Out Of The Silent Planet, first published in 1938. It is not allegorical, as the Narnia series is, but does contain his moral outlook, particularly where man and his foibles are concerned.

Lord Of The Rings
A Few Good Book ReviewsFencing, Fighting, Corsairs, monsters, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs. A short review of the J.R.R. Tolkin book, the Lord Of The Rings. A fantasy trilogy with no equal, other books suggested to me do not even come close. Tolkien produced a masterpiece and I decided to review it in brief, in-spite of it having been reviewed to death already. An excellent book.120 views 2 comments -
The Screwtape Letters
number6of1What goes on in Hell, anyway? Are there senior and junior demons? And do the senior temptors teach the junior? And how does temptation into sin work? The demons know us well! The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis. As I review I also relate what Lewis wrote to what is going on in some events in modern society. Lewis had considerable foresight (or he was some kind of prophet) to what was coming in the world, and it is visible in many of his works, The Screwtape letters are no exception. Demons and angels, patients and victims, heaven and hell. All here from the point of view of a senior demon, or tempter, to his underling, watch this video, then read the book, but get the later edition, which has the segment "Screwtape Proposes a Toast."177 views
