Customer Comment: rating=10: This is a must:):):):):):):) When my dad first suggested I read this book, I didn't want to. After he nagged me a lot though, I picked it up. I couldn't put it down!!

See if you can figure out who Dr. Ransom is by reading this book and its companions, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength. This is a trilogy for all ages!

Tilly (paperback)--Peretti
Customer Review (rating=*****): "I first read this book when I was about 9 years old after hearing about it church. I loved the story then, even though looking back on it now, I don't think I completely understood it. I reread the book when I turned 20 when it was given to me as a birthday gift, and cried through the whole thing. It meant so much more to me now that I understood more, and had actually had close friends go through the painful process of of aborting their unborn children...It shows the loving forgiveness of a God who truly cares for His people. Even though the woman in the story sinned by taking the life of her child, she is forgiven and loved and freed from the horrible guilt caused by her decision. It serves as a reminder of His true deep love and compassion for the human race." Ages 15-adult.
