I get chills even just thinking about reading this:
“An “impersonal God”– well and good. A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads — better still. A formless life-force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap — best of all. But God Himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps, approaching an infinite speed, the hunter, king, husband — that is quite another matter. There comes a moment when the children who have been playing at burglars hush suddenly: was that a real footstep in the hall? There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (“Man’s search for God!”) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?” –C. S. Lewis

hi! Can you give me the page number for this quote as well as the sentence or two that precedes it? I’d like to cite it in a resource list I’m putting together. Thanks!
Thanks for this!

I’m sorry, I put an incorrect URL for my website the first time I entered a comment. Hence my duplicate comment:)
Hi Sarah. I wrote this post a few years ago. I think I heard the quote used in a sermon or something, then googled it to grab the correct wording, so I don’t have the citation reference. Sorry! Bless you as you compile your resource. 🙂
