The Unknown Garden of Another's Heart by Joseph A. Kohm, Jr.

In April of 1914, fifteen-year-old C. S. Lewis walked into a sick neighbor's bedroom for a visit. This neighbor, eighteen-year-old Arthur Greeves, was reading a book titled Myths of the Norsemen. Their meeting was a spark that would fan into a flame a friendship that lasted almost fifty years. Drawing on original research of the 296 letters written by Lewis to Greeves that span the life of their friendship, readers will explore the deep, emotional, and raw relationship of two dissimilar people where each unveiled himself to the other in ways they did with no one else. Embedded in this relationship is the trajectory of Lewis's faith journey, starting out as an arrogant skeptic and transforming into the greatest apologist of the last one hundred years. Readers will be drawn into this beautiful friendship and in turn become better friends to those around them.

Mere Evangelism: 10 Insights from C.S. Lewis to Help You Share Your Faith. by Randy Newman

Evangelism is an extraordinary task; it’s what God uses to bring people from death to life. But it has always been difficult. C.S. Lewis was used by God in the conversions of countless people, from friends and acquaintances in his own lifetime to readers of books such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity (the most influential Christian book of the 20th century). As Tim Keller comments, “C.S. Lewis was incredibly skilled at getting Christianity across in a way that’s powerful to thoughtful people." So, if we want help with evangelism, there is much we can learn from the clarity and imagination of this hugely influential Christian writer. Evangelist and Senior CSLI Fellow, Randy Newman, helps us to apply the methods that Lewis used (storytelling, humor, imagery, and more) in our own conversations.
