S. Lewis's Spiritual Autobiography
A fascinating account of the author's spiritual pilgrimage from childhood Christianity to staunch atheism, and then back to Christianity.
“I wrote this book to answer those who wonder how I converted from an atheist to a Christian,” the author says, playing a harmony of objective and subjective insights about his experience of losing his mother at a young age, the suffering he endured at school in England, his outstanding achievements at Oxford University in his youth, and the process of abandoning atheism and becoming a Christian.
The title and theme of this book, "Unexpected Joy," refers to the joy the author experiences and ultimately the meaning that experience implies. It is a high-level psychology of conversion that integrates intellectual and intuitive aspects.

It includes photos of Lewis's childhood and youth, as well as illustrations he drew himself.

I wrote this book, partly to answer those who wonder how I converted from an atheist to a Christian, and partly to correct a couple of common misconceptions.
How seriously others will take this story depends on the extent to which they have experienced what I call 'joy.'
If people share even a little of this joy, this book, which (I believe) deals with joy in more detail than any discussion to date, will be of some help.
Even when I talk about feelings that I think only I know about, I say, "Oh my gosh! You felt that way too? I thought it was just me."
I was encouraged to write this book by the fact that there is at least one person (often more) who says, "I knew it."
_In the 'Preface'

Many people have the experience of meeting their first friend, and it is a wonderful experience in itself.
It is a wonder as great as first love (sorry to say this to novelists), no, it is an even greater wonder.
I had never even dreamed that such a friend could exist, and I had no more desire to find one than I had to become King of England.
… … I don’t think there’s anything more surprising than discovering that there are people in your life who are very similar to you.

Then, while reading Chesterton's The Everlasting Man, I first encountered an outline of Christianity presented in a form that seemed reasonable to me.
Anyway, I managed to avoid serious trouble.
You will probably remember me saying that Chesterton was the most discerning living writer, 'if only the Christian element were taken away.'
Now I have come to believe, with all my heart, that Christianity, if you take away the Christian element, is quite a sensible thing. _14.
