From the publisher

What does it mean to glorify God? What does it mean to be an Enjoyer of God? Does it mean we should put controls on ourselves and our personal enjoyment of life? According to C.S. Lewis, our ultimate destiny is to partake in God's glory because we're created by God and for God.

The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis is a collection of nine sermons delivered by Lewis during World War II. Lewis's writings explore the concept of glory and how it relates to our spiritual journey. He presents key discussions that every person should consider:

- The respect we should give each other

- The need for constant learning

- The importance of forgiveness

- The need for collaboration amongst opposing sides

This is a book for C. S. Lewis fans and readers interested in learning more about heaven, Christian theology, and church community. "Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop." Lewis reminds us in The Weight of Glory that there are no ordinary people and we live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, so we should treat each other like it.
