C.S. Lewis and His Circle (Roger White)
It’s been years since there has been a book featuring contributions from so many people who knew C.S. Lewis. That’s the treat in store for you if you get a copy of C.S. Lewis and His Circle, it’s a collection of essays and memories presented at the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society. The group began in 1982 and they have had many speakers who were personal friends with Lewis. I recently chatted with Roger White, one of the editors, about this collection that is new for 2015.

C. S. Lewis’s List (David Werther)
Lewis was influenced by many people and also by books from various authors.

Joy, both parts (Abigail Santamaria)
While I just released my interview with Abigail Santamaria in two parts, due to the popularity of those shows it seems there are those who would like the convenience of having them combined. So, that’s what this episode is, simply both chats in a single show. While nothing new has been added, the ending from …

Joy, part 1 (Abigail Santamaria)
While there have been various books on or related to the life story of Joy Davidman, an in-depth treatment has never been done. That is, until now. Over a dozen years in the making, Abigail Santamaria’s debut biography is simply called Joy. To say that Joy Davidman was just the wife of C.S. Lewis is to …
Women and C.S. Lewis (Carolyn Curtis)

It does so by gathering together a variety of scholars and thinkers (both men and women) who are very familiar with Lewis to, as its subtitle …
Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Christopher Mitchell (1yr Anniversary)
From my All About Jack: A C.S. Lewis Podcast page – July 10th was the one-year anniversary of Dr. Christopher Mitchell’s death. Last year (2014) I posted a show featuring several individuals sharing their thoughts about his life and work. Because at that time my audio files where hosted at another location it seemed appropriate to …

Discussing Mere Christianity (Dr. Devin Brown)
Saying Mere Christianity is a book that has influence millions of people would not only be obvious, but also an understatement! Yet, despite it’s nearly universal appeal, there are those who have difficulty “getting into it.” This might be because the material is over 70 years old (they were first radio talks in the 1940’s) and they …
