Lewis's soteriology resists easy categorization — he held broadly orthodox Anglican views but was deliberately non-systematic on contested points. This book is not a theological treatise but a raw spiritual diary, and its enduring value lies in its pastoral honesty rather than doctrinal precision.

In April 1956, C.S. Lewis, a confirmed bachelor, married Joy Davidman, an American poet with two small children. After four brief, intensely happy years, Lewis found himself alone again, and inconsolable. To defend himself against the loss of belief in God, Lewis wrote this journal, an eloquent statement of rediscovered faith. In it he freely confesses his doubts, his rage, and his awareness of human frailty. In it he finds again the way back to life.
