I think we all are surprised these days about how what once was considered obvious is no longer so.
I try to follow 2 maxims:

Better to be safe than sorry.

And...

It's better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Early on (2017) in my 'quest' for 'truth'. I would listen to and support minimally Melissa Scott and she would oft reference Lewis. I quit Scott and wonder about Lewis having little considered Christianity, Lewis apparently was not in my viewfinder. Is he worth the read? Is his work in line with scripture? I have a better discernment now that I finally accepted Jesus as Savior and question whether something Scott seemed to be enamored with as I was listening to her because in the past her husband I thought was honest in his preaching in that he would ask people to send him money so that he could buy a race horse. Which he claimed to have purchased and then he would ask for money to make bets on his horse. I was usually quite intoxicated in those days and cannot be certain that I heard him accurately as it was not something I was terribly attentive to and it was some time ago, 1988, possibly. So, 2017, when I started my 'quest', I started listening to Scott's widow, Melissa as it all made sense to me at the time and I had about 28yrs sober.

Yes, C.S. Lewis is worth the read. He has probably influence me more than any other author and I have read a ton. Many consider him the most influential writer of his century. Mere Christianity is perhaps his most influential work, The Chronicles of Narnia his most popular. My personal favorites are The Screwtape letters and The Great Divorce but any of his books are worth the time.
