All About Jack: A C.s. Lewis Podcast

C.S. Lewis’s brother, Warren Lewis is much less known of the two, but his life is still very interesting. Diana Glyer came across letters by him and ones written to him that provide an interesting story on its own. The Major and the Missionary gives the reader greater insight into Warrren’s life, while also adding to understanding his more famous brother. Diana shares in this interview parts of the story that show how fascinating this correspondence is between the Major (Warren) and a missionary doctor (Blanche Biggs). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See a video version of this Interview on YouTube (not live-action):   Purchase from Amazon Purchase from Amazon Order from the publisher Hear other interviews with Diana Other Useful Links: Knowing and Understanding C.S.

IN THIS REPEAT: The first of a two-part round table discussion of The Hobbit - The book vs. The movies In book form The Hobbit has been available for nearly 80 years, but the third and final movie installment was just released late last year. No one suggests the three films are perfect adaptations, but how far off do they really miss the mark? William O’Flaherty is joined by Dr. Charlie Starr, Dr. Crystal Hurd and Brenton Dickieson to discuss whether or not one can still enjoy the movies despite their imperfections. This FIRST of two part discussion starts off with considering whether or not the three movies as a whole are better than the individual parts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purchase The Hobbit (book) Visit Dr, Charlie Starr's Website Visit Dr, Crystal Hurd's Website Visit A Pilgrim in Narnia (Brenton's Website) Listen to All About Jack on iTunes Purchase C.S.
