Kim Gilnett
What was it like to know C.S. Lewis as a friend? A stepfather? A benefactor? Meet with those who knew him best as family and friends of Jack Lewis reminisce about a man of integrity, scholarship, and humor. Gain an insider’s glimpse into formative influences on Lewis’s life. Consider how he integrated his Christian faith with work and personal pursuits. Beginning with a biography of Lewis’s life and conversion, each day’s discussion will introduce you to another of Lewis’s closest contemporaries.
