A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken
Books recommended here are
very apt to be books you haven’t heard of before.
They will cross many
genres, but in one way or another they have inspired me.
When it was published in
1977, this book won accolades from several distinguished publications.
I stumbled upon it in a
used bookstore. When strongly recommending it to a friend she laughed and said
she had read it four times.
The true love story of
‘Davy’ and Sheldon Vanauken, and featuring many letters
from C.S. Lewis, who they
came to know while studying in Oxford, the reader
will be led on a
twenty-year journey through what a connection of selfless love
can be.
A Severe Mercy seems to be
having a resurgence of popularity. Currently in both e-book and cover format it
is priced at $11.99 and over. Perhaps you can find your copy as I did in a used
bookstore, or at your local library.
