What do an atheist scientist, a Watergate prisoner and the author of Interview with the Vampire have in common? C.S. Lewis changed the way they thought.

Lewis scholar and Episcopal priest Andrew Lazo grew up in an unbelieving home and first encountered Narnia simply as a great adventure. Years later, during a crisis of faith, Lewis saved Andrew's intellectual life.

He joins Ruth Jackson to uncover the remarkable stories of people whose lives took unexpected turns after encountering Lewis, from Interview with the Vampire author Anne Rice and pioneering geneticist Francis Collins, to Watergate figure Chuck Colson and former white supremacist Joseph Pearce.

Plus, hear Andrew's fascinating experience of C.S. Lewis the matchmaker!

Why can a writer who died more than 60 years ago still have this effect on people? And what was it about Lewis’s approach to doubt, reason, beauty and belief that continues to resonate today?
