There are men and women of great minds that write books that you simply must read. For the cause and subject of Christianity, C. S. Lewis ranks as one the best apologetic minds in all of Christendom.
A Year with C. S. Lewis: Daily Readings from His Classic Works, is exceptional because within it you will find choice writings from other must-read books by C. S.

Edited and arranged by Patricia Klein, each days reading of a selection of Lewis? works will cause you to remember the book it was quoted from, if you have read it. Book Review of A Year with C. S. Lewis edited by Patricia Klein
If it is the first time you are reading C. S. Lewis, it may cause you to ponder and consider his delightful style, his no-nonsense approach, and his seasoned grasp on the foundations of Christianity.
I have read all the works that this book of meditations draws from, which added great depth to the daily readings. I can mark the time in my life when I read a particular book by C. S. Lewis. It would be hard for me to choose which of his books were my favorite, I would say The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity top my list.
Lewis is profound. Having his works broken down in daily meditations makes his messages easier to digest. Of course, it is always best, at least for me, to have a dictionary handy when reading C. S. Lewis. He was a master of wit and wisdom and it flowed beautifully through his writings.
I recently purchased a eReader and this book was one of the very first ebooks I bought. I recommend it highly for personal use or as a gift. For daily reading and / or meditation, I would rank this compilation very close to Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest.
