Thank you to Tandem Literary and Random House for a copy of Becoming Mrs. Lewis .   I was given this copy in exchange for an honest review. C. S. Lewis has been a familiar author to me since I was little with books such as the Chronicles of Narnia.   When I was in high school, I remember meeting my friends at the movie theater at Manassas Mall.    The four of us were trying to decide what movie we wanted to see and we ended up picking Shadow Lands.    The movie that tells the story of C.S. Lewis’s wife Joy.    I did not realize there is more to the story.   Facebook    Twitter    Instagram ”When poet and writer Joy Davidman began writing letters to C. S. Lewis—known as Jack—she was looking for spiritual answers, not love. Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage.

In my journey through the other side of cancer God has called me to a specific direction. He used a scene from the movie War Room to open my eyes to application of his word, the bible. I learn what it means to be a prayer warrior, in the Priscilla Shirer study Armor of God . I am healing from cancer and some changes have occurred both positive and negative. I prayed about my loneliness and God brought me to the next study, which is Uninvited by Lysa Terkeurst . Have you ever felt less than, left out or lonely? For this review I will be discussing both the book and the Bible study guide. Both books have a beautiful cover! The bible study guide is divided into seven sessions. Each session begins with an outline of Lysa’s teaching. I am not going to go into great detail because I had no access to this teaching which was done on video. Then the week’s session proceeds into a group bible study. Then the rest of the homework is personal. The personal study sections go deeper int...
