Lewis Small collection of Lewis’ more famous essays This book is one to return to again and again Lewis sets the boundaries of what it is like to seek glory Antiloidoreo: This word means to “revile again”, returning bile for bile, spite for spite Used in 1 Peter 2:23 When someone else starts the sinning, the easiest thing in the world is to pay him back in his own coin But this is precisely what Jesus did not do
