"G. K. Chesterton and other Voices that Shaped C. S. Lewis"
Looking back on his conversion experience some years later, C. S. Lewis observed that a young atheist cannot be too careful about the things he reads. Lewis had made the mistake of reading The Everlasting Man by G. K. Chesterton, and it made entirely too much sense. Joseph Pearce, who has written on Chesterton, will lead two sessions on the great man who Lewis looked to for a model and upon whom he depended for many of the ideas in Mere Christianity.
Featuring music, worship, food, and good conversation, plus talks by
