Bob your support means the world -- and you know how much I respect you!
Thank you for sharing that scene, it seems very touching. And I like sharing the books I read on this journey because I believe they are a part of the story :) Hopefully others can pick up some of them as well along the way.
And, yes, I agree Lewis certainly had his doubts. They're most visible in his A Grief Observed.
Broadly, I see your question the same way. I think that atheists often judge people with religious belief too harshly. We all have belief, in the end.
I will most certainly let you know when it's available :) I'll post some excerpts in the coming days as well.
Thanks again. Your comment is well-appreciated.
