    I don’t remember the exact quote but when Lewis says he was comfortable giving away such a large amount of his income to the poor and widows because he was just so grateful God would have him as part of his work, I began to cry. Such a remarkable man. The most reluctant convert became one of the most generous.

    Many thanks for interviewing Walter Hooper. I am very grateful for this interview in which Mr. Hooper shared his life experiences with C.S. Lewis. And to you, Mr. Metakas and SITC, for bringing out Mr. Hooper’s role in preserving the C.S. Lewis legacy. I hope many viewers feel as I do, that were it not for Walter Hooper, we may never have discovered C. S. Lewis or certainly known the depth of his literary contributions.

    It is an understatement to refer to these interviews as treasures. I would not be the person I am without the writings of C.S.Lewis. To find that this gentleman played such a role in their preservation is amazing. Such grace and devotion. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

    To think that a introduction as short as that to Phillip's book could cause such an impact on one's life... Lewis had this power, though, of really talking to his readers. A connection is established almost at once, as if we were talking with an old friend, immensely learned and full of charity, wit and faith. Such a gift of God!

    Thank you for posting this video. I have never heard of some of Mr. Lewis' writings but will now definitely keep an eye out for them!

    I always thought, the Space Trilogy very imaginative.
  • Not gods......the incarnation of the Son of God....as a fully human person. Read on the Incarnation by St.Athanasius. Then Read TF Torrance and Barth.
