Here is our series of Advent Reflections with C. S. Lewis for 2023. We offer a pithy quote, the reference for you to read more, and, even more importantly, two Scripture passages, one being verses from Psalms. We hope it will edify you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the Incarnation. If you want to join us on Facebook under the flag, “The Official C.S. Lewis Group”, we’re a bustling crew of 140,000 plus people and you are more than invited. Click here
