I can relate to Lewis. I was an atheist for about 9 years. I am glad I am here now. I am not ashamed of the Gospel. I am reading many of his books and they are very interesting. I love sharing my testimony with many of my brothers and sisters in Christ. I can't keep quiet or my mouth shut about Jesus Christ. Equations and science never filled that void I had for 9 years. Jesus Christ filled that void. I have forgotten what happiness was because I am always filled with joy. Joy>Happiness.

Imagine getting to discuss gods and giants and Asgard with Tolkien and Lewis for hours around a bright fire on a windy, rainy night !!!!!!!

One can only dream to experience so close, complex, and kind-spirited a friendship as these two colossal minds did.

A wonderful lecture, indeed! Pure literary and auditory sweetness! A truly earth-shattering discussion that could have been twice as lengthy, it is a gem that really unwraps the enfonced relationship of these two brilliant and sometimes enigmatic geniuses!! A toast as broad as the Pacific for the scope of the lecture, and to you, uctelevision, for uploading it all!! Thank you!

This is a wonderful lecture on the relationship of these two great men. Thanks so much for posting it. I love that it's an entire hour long; it really allows for more depth and roundness to the discourse.
