Lewis" width="164" height="228" style="float:left;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" /><a href="http://sacrosanctgospel.wordpress.com">Tim Melton</a> has a great new post about C.S. Lewis (pictured at left) and the gospel of hope.  He talks as Lewis did about the importance of the interplay between work and play.  Tim writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>I love C.S. Lewis. I can’t help it. About 20 years ago I read “Mere Christianity” and “Until we have Faces” and right then and there, I was hooked. The thing that I find most appealing about Lewis is the way he approaches life and spirituality. He loved to read, loved to teach, loved to debate, loved to think, and loved to study…but he also loved to imagine, loved a good story, loved to have beer with friends, loved to laugh, and loved to enjoy life. In short, Lewis saw work and play as simultaneous expressions of worship given to God. I have read very few authors, and met even fewer people, who keep as firm a grasp on this as Lewis.</p></blockquote>
<p>I think that what Tim has written on the subject is really worth reading and I encourage you to&#8230;</p>
