Conversations with C. S. Lewis: Imaginative Discussions About Life, Christianity and God

Conversations with C. S. Lewis: Imaginative Discussions About Life, Christianity and God by Velarde, Robert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780830834839.

"C. S. Lewis died in 1963, but I met him last week." Robert Velarde tells of an imaginative journey in which the literature professor mysteriously appears in Thomas Clerks hospital room. "Call me Jack," the writer says as he invites Clerk to step into a wardrobe. From there the two embark on a remarkable journey through Lewiss life. They experience pivotal events from Lewiss childhood and meet many of his real and imaginary friends; they visit the Kilns with his brother, Warnie, and spend time in Oxford with fellow writers and Inklings J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles Williams. They also sit with Lewiss dying wife, Joy Davidman, and they even enter the world of Narnia. Along the way, Lewis challenges Clerks thinking about the existence of God, the truth of Christianity, the problem of pain and suffering, the nature of love and much more. Are human beings a cosmic accident? Can we have morality without God? Was Jesus just a guru? Can we really believe in heaven and hell? Tom and Jack discuss these and many other questions, and they invite you to eavesdrop on their conversations. Prepare yourself for some of the most invigorating discussions you may ever experience this side of heaven.
