C.S. Lewis was a Christian author born in 1898 in Ireland. He wrote several influential works including The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity. Though raised Christian, Lewis struggled with faith as a young man but converted back after experiencing God on a motorcycle ride. Lewis used his faith and understanding of Christianity to write in a way that helped both children and adults better understand Jesus, good and evil, and the struggles Christians face. His most famous work, The Chronicles of Narnia, contains many allegorical references to Christianity.
