    C.S. Lewis Sounded the Alarm on the Dangers of Progressivism0

    C.S. Lewis: World-renowned author, philosopher, theologian. Christian apologist. Mere mention of his name fills our minds with images of faith-based allegory, of lions, witches, and wardrobes, of rational defenses of the Christian faith.

The broader definition of gluttony is any inordinate desire related to food or drink. That includes overconsumption, but it also includes overselectivity regarding the type or quality of food and drink. A memorable passage in

    C.S. Lewis on the Christmas “Racket”0

    Last month, Gallup rolled out its annual poll regarding how much Americans intend to spend on Christmas gifts. Surprisingly, average spending on gifts was expected to jump $100 from last year’s amount, for a grand total of $830 per person. Such a finding oddly underscores what C.S. Lewis once labeled as “the third thing called
