Thoughts on C.S. Lewis

As is his custom, John Piper is giving a biographical sketch of a great believer at his annual Pastors Conference. This year's subject is the much-anticipated C.S. Lewis. Here's a quote I thoroughly enjoyed,

"He loved the wisdom of the ages, not the whimsy of the passing present. He called himself a Neanderthaler and a dinosaur. He didn’t read newspapers. He never wore a watch. He never learned to type. He did not own or drive a car. He cared nothing about cutting a good appearance and wore the same old clothes until they were threadbare. He was incredibly free from the addicting powers of the present moment."
