A wonderful exploration of how set-backs affect our lives.

Lewis explores the existence of suffering from an explicitly Christian theological lens with only fleeting glances of a more philosophical viewpoint. If you already ascribe to a Christian belief, then what's presented here will likely mesh with your existing knowledge to produce a more whole comprehension of the whys and role of suffering in our world. If you aren't, then I don't know if there's that much here for you; not that the insights aren't applicable outside of a Christian context, but rather because I think that context so forcefully holds the entire examination together.
It was a very interesting book, though; I agreed with a bunch of it, it provided a few things I will continue to mull over in the years ahead, and there were a few things I think Lewis missed the mark on. While I don't think that this book is the #1 treatise on β¦

While I don't think that this book is the #1 treatise on the theology of suffering, I do think it's competent, coherent, and insightful enough to be an excellent driver for conversation and exploration of the topic.

Took me a bit longer than planned, but ended up enjoying the book immensely. A well-written reflection on a man's desire to work for good when circumstances make it nearly impossible.

I saw a short documentary by the Times abut Adolfo Kaminsky and was fascinated by his story, from unexpected turns in life to the intersection of his pacifism and desire to partake in the war and save lives. Looking forward to reading the story in full.

Runaway is a brief look at the rigidity of our systems and how we maintain them. It has affection for those that can see how systems may be oblivious to externalities, and the absurd ways we'll attempt to fix them.
It doesn't condemn the nature of these shortcomings, but rather shines a light on them in a humorous way. Awareness is, in fact, most of the battle.

Overall it was a solid book. While sometimes dwelling a little too long, the book does a really good job at exploring the philosophy of ideologies born out of times of conflict/war/persecution and how those ideologies hold as the world around them change. Far deeper than I expected, and more than enough to convince me to read another book in the series.
A fairly quick read that entertains and provides enough exploration of ideas about how we choose to interact with the world around us that it's certainly not just a throwaway. I enjoyed it.
