Recenzje

"Who better to write the book on C. S. Lewis and the craft of communication than one of the foremost professors of communication in the world-Steven A. Beebe, who also happens to be a Lewis enthusiast? This book is a must-read for all who study the craft of communication, for all communicators who want to improve their art-form, and for all lovers of C. S. Lewis and his work. Even the latter are bound to learn something new from this book, since it is brimming over with insightful analysis. Beebe writes in a style as clear as water from a fresh, mountain spring, in a manner as engaging as a man on his knees with a ring in his hand, occasionally with a gentle humor befitting a Garrison Keillor, and always with the academic finesse of a bookworm in the bowels of the Bodleian Library. Bravo!"-Will Vaus, author of Mere Theology: A Guide to the Thought of C. S. Lewis
