The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis

The title essay alone has made this one of the most quoted pieces C.S. Lewis ever wrote. In it, he argues that the deepest human longing — that sense of wanting something just beyond our reach — is actually a longing for glory, for being known and loved by God. The rest of the collection is equally rich, covering topics from learning and war to forgiveness and the nature of membership in a community. Each piece is short enough to read in one sitting but substantial enough to think about for days. A great introduction to Lewis’s essay writing, and a must-have for anyone who has already fallen in love with his books. Order from thebookdot.com with delivery across Pakistan.
