In 1973 one of my elementary school textbooks included an excerpt from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I read it and was hooked. I’vebeen reading Lewis off and on for the last 40 years. Below Tim Keller and Jon Piper talk about Lewis’s influence in their lives. You can read more about Desiring God’s conference on Lewis on the Desiring God web site.

This would be so fun to go to!! I used to love watching The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe as a child. We have the Focus on The Family Radio drama of the Chronicles of Narnia:-) They are fantastic!
