Hideous Strength- Melissa Faller

One of the most intriguing parts of the Hideous Strength was in Chapter 15. In Chapter 15 Mark was faced with a challenge. Mark was challenged with his faith. I particularly liked this part because of the way C.S. Lewis made Mark’s character so true to real life. In my experience and testimonies I have heard over the years, Christians like Mark are often faced with leaving something in which they consider important to them behind and accept Christ. I like this part of the book because it makes a real life situation that is so difficult, easy to relate too. Additionally, it also allows the reader to understand that sometimes the sacrifice that humans once though was so hard to make was nothing compared to what is gained when one makes that sacrifice. C.S. Lewis, again subtly hints at the greatness of being a Christian, but still manages to incorporate the real life obstacles and realism in his writing.
