5 Star Rating  "A Theology of Joy"2008-07-29
- Reviewed By User: A3VBPKXDXOHSA6
Not only is this a beautiful story, but it is a rich and profound study in the theology of joy, on par with C.S. Lewis' 'Surprised by Joy'. Really, the book is a fleshing out of Lewis' theology of joy through the life and mind of Vanauken. It is so moving and so well done that I snatch up used copies whenever I see them to give away as gifts. If you enjoyed this book see also Peter Kreeft, 'Heaven: The Heart's Deepest Longing'; Humphrey Carpenter, 'The Inklings'; G.K. Chesterton, 'The Everlasting Man'; and, of course C.S. Lewis, 'Surprised by Joy'.
 
5 Star Rating  "past legitimate doubt to serious faith"2008-07-18
- Reviewed By User: A1WYV3SIME5JLG
(I gave away this latest copy I bought, but did read it a few years ago.)
Great reading material for any couple starting to develop and defend their own shining barrier around their love as well as for anyone with a serious contemplation about what faith in God really means.
Makes a great gift or discussion topic.
 
5 Star Rating  "My Favorite Book"2008-06-18
- Reviewed By User: A2GTR00YTP280S
A Sever Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken is perhaps my favorite book. It is a autobiography of the author's life, focusing especially on his relationship with his wife, Davy, and how it evolved throughout their conversion to Christianity. An English professor and poet, Vanauken is a terrific writer who will have you alternately laughing and crying. The story is beautiful, and the message is timeless. It is definitely worth buying and reading. Note: this is a Christian book, from a Christian point fo view, so don't buy it expecting just a romance story. It is theologically deep, and quite moving. It will give you a new frame of thinking about one's relationship to both Christ and one's spouse.
 
5 Star Rating  "No other word but beautiful."2008-05-13
- Reviewed By User: ATQHKZD5IQRD3
I have to be honest, I'm kind of a book snob. I buy a lot of books, read a lot of books, and dislike a lot of books. Rarely does a book catch my heart and my mind as quickly and as totally as this did. Many times when my husband and I were dating and even in our earliest days and weeks of marriage we talked about protecting our little delicate love and we set up ground rules in order to help our love endure. This book puts into words what we felt as we were trying to set our "no plan B" marriage into motion. This love story is love found on many levels and I plan on picking it up again and again in years to come...
If you want a honest and beautiful and well-written story of love and marriage, buy this book today.
 
5 Star Rating  "Wear Your Tears and Read Your Fears"2008-05-11
- Reviewed By User: A21CJ047FMVUA1
Breathtaking... Read the ideal dream of love, read your deepest fears, wear your most passionate tears.

A true story, an autobiography of a Love, written by the husband after his wife's untimely death. The wife's death was the destiny of a jealosy the husband felt for his wife's love for God that arose from their unity in pursuit of beauty. It was a severe mercy for God to take her, to save their love for eternity.

This book is ripe with poetry fruiting from the Tree of Love. This book is truly the miracle concealed in the years of their marriage, their child. This book is the banner of romance, to war the apathy that complacent love dies from so frequently.

I raised my teacup and said, "If it's half as good as the half we've known..." and she said "Here's 'Hail!' to the rest of the road." We drank to that in Darjeeling.

Many will read this book because of the letters from C.S.Lewis. Some will read it because of the story of their conversion from "pagan lovers" to Christians. But, I pray you read it for the Adventure of Love.
 
5 Star Rating  "Must Read for People Who Want Love to Endure for an Eternity"2008-04-05
- Reviewed By hgtiu
It offers a rare and by far in my experience, the best insight into what love between a man and a woman could be in its most glorious state. Be prepared to be moved to the very depths of your being.
 
5 Star Rating  "Rarest marriage relationship"2008-01-17
- Reviewed By gillespie_n
This is the rarest, greatest, most memorable of ALL love stories. I'm not aware of a movie from this book--but there should be! It shows just how close a man and woman can get to becoming "one"--but can it become too extreme? really healthy? and, could it affect your relationship with God? I'll never forget this!
 
5 Star Rating  "Amazing Read"2008-01-03
- Reviewed By e-cowboy
This is a fantastic book. It's well written, an amazing/heartbreaking story, and a powerful depiction of true love. Though the letters from C.S. Lewis add a nice feature to the book, it easily stands on its own without them. I highly recommend it.

4 Star Rating  "After all these years..."2007-07-13
- Reviewed By kayzpen
In 1976, at a Christian writers conference, someone I admire recommended this book. He was trying to make his audience understand that writing in the genre of "inspirational" nonfiction needn't be trite or predictable or ordinary. "Christian writers should write well," he told us. Here here. I read the book on his recommendation--and an entire genre opened up for me. Though the book is slightly flawed, it is worth reading (if for no other reason than the letters by Lewis--gotta love him always) simply as an example of good writing. I've recently purchased the book again for friends for that very reason.
