So glad to hear this interview.

I stumbled across Shadowlands last night, and only watched because of Anthony Hopkins, i also read Lewis as a child, but did but get on well with the books, i was a girl and lots of books on my childhood were filled with wars and battles etc which held no interest for me, secondly i was told they were the story of Christianity which i also hated as i came from a cruel Catholic family. But this film and then Douglas' ASTONISHING life story has opened up a rich vein for me. There are too many synchronisities to ignore. I am lead on an interesting path ❤

Thank you Diana, I attended your sessions at Oxbridge 2012 and my daughter Florence, a Classicist, is now at St Andrews University Scotland completing a PhD in Classics.

I don't recall the mention of a brother in the movie.

Quite the storyteller yourself Douglas. Count your blessings for your mother ever meeting Jack and Jack letting her into his life and taking you and your brother on when she passed. You were a kid when they met - he was an older man. I doubt somewhat you knew him that well as you went to boarding school and children have little interest in their parents, even if adopted. His Jacks success has funded your life. Count your blessings 🙏🙏 You knew him for 10 years only and only as a kid.

The caller is Glenn Bannermann : )

I agree with you… I don’t have the need to go to Church because what was implanted to me in my earlier years ie. practice the Virtues not only makes you a good Christian but also embraces all religions/creeds.

i good news about your work or name sake Warren hamilton wants ur help please

You'll find the ANCIENT ORTHODOX CHURCH a perfect place to WORSHIP GOD!!! Handed down from the Apostle's and NOT changed in 2,000 years... Also, how to be a good Christian... HUMILITY, REPENTANCE, WORSHIP and CHARITY... Lord have mercy on us all... CS Lewis did writings on Orthodoxy

Incredible voice!

The supernatural experience Douglas had with God at age 10 when he was about to lose his mother was similar to something that happened to me when I was 29. God showed up! Douglas said his mother lived another four years until he was able to make it without her. God understood a sorrowful 10-year-old boy's heartbreak and stepped in. He did the same for me when I was 29.

😊

Great talk, but his negative views on Catholicism seemed solely based on his prejudice against his mother-in-law?!

Extraordinary reasoning

Sad to think what Netflix will do to the Narnia Chronicles. Lewis would be so upset.

George Sayer claimed Lewis lost his faith after Joy died.

Douglas, I don’t think it was Jack holding your hand. It was the Holy Spirit.

I hope the Netflix adaptation doesn't lose the Christian influence.

Why is this guy wearing riding trousers - riding boots and two watches ?????

Where is this?

Delicious...

Sørina is the best.

Thank you guys for putting my video of your layout here!

The chair makes grisham look tiny.

It’s vitally important that we understand that God doesn’t need us to “commit our lives to Christ;” he wants us to receive what he’s offering us through Christ, who did everything necessary to be able to offer us eternal life in him by placing our faith in him. God has a gift for you In Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV! Have you let him know you’ve received it?

The very last question in the Q&A regards the Netflix series… May I ask Was it ever made? If so was it any good?

Just for the clarity of others may I point out that the second question asked in the Q&A session at the end of this video where he states Jack was often visited by his brother towards the end of Jack's life and that they never fell out with each other He of course meant Lewis and Tolkien Perhaps that looks like a lapse of memory but it could also be seen as a "Freudian slip"?🙏

I'll just come out and say it: what a crush I've had on D.G. for decades. What a bright compelling soul he is. Terrific interview.

You telling that story about your mother I had a similar experience when my mother died.

I’ve never read any of his books. I couldn’t get around the narnia book. But I’m definitely gonna check them out.

The West became so wealthy through series of questionable activities.

Never knew

My grandfather Was a well known writer in his day & wrote : Paradise Lost at around age 11 & was of the temperament of this gentleman. He reminds me of him soo much! He ❤❤ was my favorite mentor & relative & deep thinker > next to CS Lewis. MR.Greshim's eyes light up talking about God /Jesus/ his mom & Jack, as it should be with those we cherish & have lost. He brings a deeper realistic view of Lewis that makes all he has written even more profound.

I read a recent biography of Joy Davidman. It was really interesting. Based on letters written by her to her brother and other people, she went to England with the purpose of meeting with C.S. Lewis, whom she had a serious crush on, apparently just from reading his books, which she loved so she wrote many letters to him. She had pretended to be there to do research on medieval literature or something, but what she really wanted was to try to seduce him if possible, although he kept his distance from her for a long time based on his friends' advice. Only when she was diagnosed with her life-threatening cancer did his attitude change. The book also challenges the idea that her husband, Bill Gresham, was violent towards her. He had been unfaithful and alcoholic and they had loud arguments, but the author concluded that he did not hit her. She claimed he did though, apparently to get more sympathy from Lewis. Bill Gresham did fall in mutual love with Joy's cousin Renee, who with her children had escaped from an abusive husband and had moved in with the Greshams. It was a very complicated situation.

CS Lewis likely sat in those chairs.

Lovely Interview, and an Ignorant set of questions.

get it boys

That was brilliant. Douglas Gresham is a fascinating man to listen to and I do agree with him about the Americans and the British. They react and praise differently and they like slightly different things in books. I'm also a free-flowing Christian without a church. It used to bother me that I couldn't find one I felt was true, but now I'm fine with it, I don't belong to any. Here is a little trivia about Joy - her family had Polish and Russian roots, and Jewish too. And they were quite strict and she did exceptionally well at school and entered university at a young age.

Hi This is fascinating. I am pleased that I have taken the time to listen to this. Well done to Douglas.

Has Gresham considered Angel Studios?

Why two watches? Is he a Mason?

I just don't believe Tolkien NEEDED Lewis.

Great stuff, but it's lame the camera guy failed to show us her PowerPoint slides.

What a delightful presentation by Dr. Glyer! Fascinating and thought-provoking as well as enlightening. After listening, I promptly searched out “The Company They Keep;” so looking forward to delving in.

Bunch of Marxist claptrap at the end there..

Hearing him speaking about Cs Lewis and Tolkien warms me. I love their friendship and they both helped each other for the books they made. Douglas is so blessed to know them both, hope and wishing him well

Thank you for this interview! To respond to your question. I believe that lesbians have a very hard time mostly because 1) women in general have been seen and treated as less than men, and 2) society has been putting same sex relationships down for quite a while. Put the two together, and, if the statistics are accurate about lesbian suicide, you have some of the explanation for those numbers, I believe. I love what you said about churches. I have always felt that every religion, at its true core, is climbing toward the same goal of oneness with what I call Divine Love and you call Jesus. There are some within those religions who are truly connected, and many who are not yet there. There are also many who have no religious affiliations who are connected. The way is through Love in my opinion, and, as CS Lewis said in The Last Battle, ‘what you do in service for good goes in my name’. Also, in The Secret Garden of Frances Hodgson Burnett, Nancy’s mother says it another way: “what are names to the joy maker?” Thank you for sharing your stories and love with the world. Blessings on your family and all the good works each of you is taking part in. 50:54. And thank you for the book reference of JRR Tolkein by George Sayer who was his close friend.

"We are not qualified to run a human life" - I love that. I'm laughing but it's so true.
