Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life

One of my favorite books of all time. This book did a lot to solidify my faith.

An autobiography with a strong thread of his “conversion” to Christianity, the writing is so beautiful in some places I regretted having it as a book-on-tape, since I wanted to re-read and savor the parts. His conversion is really a long process of internal growth, and it’s the inner and outer journeys that he chronicles so well.

I found it dark, remote and utterly uninteresting but maybe, just maybe, Divine Providence works in such mysterious ways that I was simply blinded.

Very thought provoking.
