Chapter 3: "Time and Beyond Time"

This chapter discusses Time as it relates to Prayer.

We live through time. In this reality, we flow in one direction with time. All that is behind us is lost to us, except in our memory. All that is before us is unknown to us. What Lewis is attempting to address here is, "How can God listen to everyone in the world praying at the same time?"

  • God created time
  • God exists beyond time ("outside and above")
  • God is not restricted to time
