Remember Your Fairy Tales

C.S. Lewis wrote in “The Weight of Glory:”

Remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well as for inducing them. And you and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness which has been laid upon us for nearly a hundred years.


We need to remember that the disenchantment of the world is an enchantment. Nothing breaks the spell like Scripture and fairy stories remind us that Scripture reveals God's enchantment of the world.
