C.S. Lewis speaks my language.

And I feel that he allowed the Spirit to influence him. It taught him truth and ways to convey it.
About his book Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold he said, "This re-interpretation of an old story has lived in the author's mind, thickening and hardening over the years, since he was an undergraduate. That way he could be said to have worked at it most of his life. Recently, what seemed to be the right form presented itself and themes suddenly interlocked."
This, to me, seems proof that the ideas he presents are more than just his ideas. The complex interlocking of themes and characters and allusion and emotional connection that help me realize old truths at new levels and new (to me) truths at any level were not Lewis' work alone.

"What interlocked for Lewis was a profound picture of the central elements of Christianity, presented not in the apologist's form of his early works, enabling readers to 'see,' or understand, truths through the reason, but in mythical form, giving a 'taste' of Reality through imagination...Lewis, who in his thirties put his full trust in reason, came in his fifties to regard myth as one of the best means available for embodying and conveying the Truth"(Peter J. Schakel, Reason and Imagination: A Study of Till We Have Faces, 6).

I can't add to that...
