If you just randomly clicked on this STOP! You will not find anything else as touching, heartwarming, or sheerly brilliant on the internet today. IF, that is what you're searching for.
Today I stumbled upon this magnificent video presentation. I am blown away with joy and emotion. I know nothing of David Payne, but for me, today I met C.S. Lewis face to face.
I stumbled across this only 15 minutes ago and I had to pause it because I read your comment and was moved to a similar response literally by everything you said in that short comment . That's why I love reading and discovering new literature ( new to me) because two very different people can have the same visceral response to said literature!
Have a great day 😁.
I know, me too
Amen
Ditto!
Wonderfully said!
20 years ago I lost my husband to cancer when he was 48 and I was 46. I read many books during my grieving. “A Grief Observed” was the most impactful of them all. What a gift that book was to me!
@ Susan Damsen
Thanks for the " word of knowledge
in due season"! ...abt the book "A GRIEF OBSERVED". I just lost my good friend and ex-husband very suddenly but not unexpectedly, just
days ago. I never expected to feel like this. Perhaps your suggestion is just the balm to remove the sting of tears that I feel. He was a true Christian friend...we had eachother's
backs. He sheltered me when I was homeless, offered food out of hospitality and sat at my bedside
when I needed an advocate for my pain...even crying bc he hurt too!
Perhaps this was the kind of love we were meant to experience...
We had a son ...a petulant, brooding sort ...a very successful man in life
and in 💑 marriage! Their daughter
17, a top of her class electrician, is abt to set out on her own great adventure w. a flame from preschool
days.
Perhaps this is the lesson we were to have given to our posterity...love that begins w. friendship and matures into " life longing for itself"...(Gibran, I believe). I read
the whole Chroicles series and
"THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS"&
saw "SHADOWLANDS".
it is perhaps time to. revisit all my old acquaintances in Narnia.
I have decided to make a memory
quilt out of my "friend's" old shirts
...for our grand-daughter 's ...but also for anyone needing a hug from a good friend, "papou" or dad.
Sir!
You had me in the palm of your hand and circumstance held me there!
Fascinating!

My cousin lost her husband to ALS a few years ago. She made a quilt out of Tom’s shirts and has done quilts for others since then. I wish I had saved Larry’s shirts! I love this idea!
...I think, cuz it came
from "Asland's heart"!
C. S. Lewis was my first best friend when I was saved. I cried. Thank you, Mr. Payne, Bravo!💋⚔️🕊
Its so for me too
I remember the first time I stumbled across this video. I was looking for something that I could play in the background while I fall asleep. I was tired. I ended lying on my bed, wide-eyed and full of intrigue for the entire hour and a half, listening to it. I've repeated it a few times since
I fell asleep to Mere Christianity a number of times, I've been programed by it's comforting message!
I saw him live in Chicago. We, the audience, filled less than 2 rows. We got to witness something intimate and unique. A night we'll never forget.
My goodness! The brilliance of actors never shines quite so brightly as when a lone actor delivers a monologue of such poignancy and power. Well done, Mr. Payne, well done indeed!!
Lewis has been a blessing in my life for 30 years, and now David Pyne has made him real… and personal…and known to me. Thank you for this!!
I enjoy your channel sir, almost as much as I enjoyed reading Lewis' series to my boys those many years ago, with voices and emotion, evoking the usual call from my wife downstairs, "You're supposed to be putting them to bed, not getting them wound up!"
Respect.
As a hospice nurse, I live these sad moments daily. I hate it. I had a patient this week who has a loving husband and two sweet babies aged 9 and 6. Her husband wept through the entire admission process. I am leaving my career in hospice in a month’s time. I just can’t do it anymore. But I will continue to pray for those strong enough to keep at it. LOVE C.S. Lewis and Joy. Shadowlands is one of the best movies ever!!
Thank you for your care of those in need.
You're an angel ...
YOU ARE GOOD
How Incredible that a man who died in 1963 continues to impact the world so well for Christ. Dr. Francis Collins is a Witness of His influence. God bless His descendants more. See him in The Resurrection Morning After This Short Night Sleep
I walked in after the video started.
I thought I was seeing someone speaking about their life. I hung on his every word. I cried for him believing he was speaking about the death of his wife. Only after reading the comments did I realize it was a performance. Unbelievable Talent.
Same here...I had no idea...blown away...so glad I found this!
I feel blessed to have heard this life of C S Lewis. DAVID Pyne was extraordinary.
The very finest!!
BRAINWASHING IS A BEAUTIFUL THING?
Its amazing im so brainwashed i see my brainwashing as the most obvious and easy to understand truth that makes all of life make sense and coherent amazing and through brainwashing that has been done to me. I have made many predictions based in my brainwashing and they also have come true as the coherent outcome of this amazing and thorough brainwashing.
I feel put upon that this religious lunatic was created by the universe and admired by mouth-breathers.
One word- excellently done, (paraphrase) his wife smiled at God's face upon passing. That is the way to go out.
Cannot begin to know how he had all of this memorized while also as something with such feeling and naturalness, believably as if it was his own story personally lived. What a gift this was.
When Christian bottomfeeders brainwash you, it's like a Holy Water Enema mixed with Kentucky Moonshine. It leaves you feeling like you've just had a spiritual orgasm.
He was not telling his.own story ? I thought he was .
Incredible- such a gift-
@@martinkent333 you just keep saying the same thing over and over... Quite unimaginative.
Martin.
May we assume you're an atheist?
I’ve never heard of this Actor
but he’s GREAT, isn’t he?
I listened. I laughed. I cried. I got angry.
And I only needed a hug before I started listening to this.
How Wonderful!
I never thought I would be so joyously mesmerized for an hour and a half by a speaker.
I watched Mr. Payne perform this live last night in Youngstown Ohio ... so unbelievably wonderful.
I’ll have some lines from this read at my funeral. I just listened through twice , and cried each time, marveled each time, and learned each time. And then yearned for more.
❤️
It feels like I lived through CS Lewis' life and felt what he felt, especially when he spoke about his wife.
Laughter, tears, joy, importance and a feeling of being with Lewis. This is what Mr. Payne gave to me. Thank you. You don't want to miss this great story.
I totally & heartily agree! I miss this caliber of theater, AND of Truth in media!
Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and to guide you. I would recommend the UA-cam channel Cleveland street preachers and follow Jesus no man no religion. Be holy and obey Jesus. Hebrews 5:9 “salvation is for those who obey.uu
I found the notes my father took during a lecture given by C. S. Lewis when he was at Oxford. Fascinating!
Share them!
PS
p
Fastinating. Frame them!
Wow that’s amazing. That would immediately become my most sentimental possession
So proud he is from my city of Belfast, I visited his home and walked in the Lewis garden where liked to relax. And he was very close to his dear friend, Tolkien.
Two mediocre writers are walking in a garden... what a cute picture!
For the numbers of views this video has had, I find the number of likes is sorely lacking.
This was excellent, humorous, emotional, thought provoking, and David Pain has a sumptuously smooth voice.
Unfortunately the true Character of Ravi Zachariah made many jaded in believing men like Lewis also might have fallen short of the Glory of God . Lewis was a confessing Christian and Ravi used his name many times in his lectures…..There is a reason why Christ said “Many will come and say they know me ….)
Mr. Paynes did a phenomenal job. I was totally captivated. I don't see how C.S. Lewis could have portrayed himself better. Bravo!!
Thank you whoever was responsible for bringing this program to my IPad. I have read some of C.S. Lewis’s’ books, but this was excellent and moved me very much. I wish my husband were still alive. There is so much there that we experienced together.
God bless you, Dear Lady
I find myself watching this over and over. Thank you Lord for the gifts of C.S Lewis they bring joy for all to come.❤️
It took me quite a while to realise it was an actor speaking and not C S Lewis himself. It portrayed the man very much as I imagined him to be. An excellent performance, funny, familiar and very moving towards the end.
Absolutely in awe of David. How wonderful he is. I was totally consumed with his presentation. There were times it was so believable. I loved getting to know CS Lewis. How amazing.
It’s his real biography
Christians never check Bible facts, but dwell in fantasyland!
With tears of appreciation I applaud all ...May I be such a witness through my pending death where I am to be born again of spirit..God bless you and keep you HIS children...He is faithful and true!!! Amen
I'm pleasantly surprised the U of California would tolerate sharing the wisdom of one of the great Christians. More is needed. UA-cam carries a ton of the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen. He had a long running favorite prime time TV show in the 1950's. His insights are badly needed today. Great humor and wisdom in 24 minute shots.
This is from 13 years ago. The woke democrats have completely destroyed the college campuses across the country in the last 4 years.

He is not a great Christina my friend. In fact, he was part of a secret pagan society and friends with many Luciferians. Do your research.
Today antifa would shout him off the campus.
@@philipe6293 all thanks to the seditious Demonrats perverting the laws while emboldening the domestic terrorists.
Truly, truly fantastic. If you're skimming the comments while considering the video, it's worth the time.
Captain Crunched that I was!

If so, what are the reasons for your BELIEF in God? 🤓

@@rosalietijamo5075, kindly repeat that in ENGLISH, Miss.☝️
@@TheWorldTeacher Watch the video, read the book - Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. That's a good start, if you're open to knowing. If not, God will not force Godself on you.
Such a wonderful and beautiful story. Thank you.
How privileged I feel, I am, having heard his awesome soliloquies.
Sitting in my comfy chair, I felt like I was sitting there, across from him. I was entirely enthralled.
I met Mr. Payne after his presentation in Nashville, Tennessee several years ago; he graciously allowed me to have my picture taken with him. I think I will have the first ten thousand years in Heaven, drinking tea and talking with Mr. Lewis.
Wow! Found this video by accident. Was not disappointed! Brilliant and touching performance!! Bravo!
Gp

Me too!
I also found this by accident and watched this straight through. I was glad I did. What a performance by a gifted man. It also gave me a profound respect for C.S. Lewis.
@@Pipeline66 Why? CS Lewis was a religious lunatic.
This film is one of my favorite things posted on UA-cam.
DO YOU LIKE SHINY OBJECTS, RUBE?
@@martinkent333 You seem to enjoy tearing others down. That kind of thing comes back on you.
I thought he was talking about himself, until he said that his birthday was 1909. I thought what, no way is he that old. That’s when I realized that this was a performance of unequaled quality.
I have never ceased to be an avid fan of my friend, C. S. Lewis. No author has ever kept me so spell bound as he has been here. I do agree with him that the younger generation has no cause to disbelieve in God and His Creation if they find someone to tell it to them faithfully and as softly and convincingly as possible.
Superb. Listened, watched as I gardened to the Screwtape letters, then this rolled over, how lovely. I laughed, smiled and cried.. And praise the generousity of a loving God.
There’s only one TINY little problem with what you wrote above, Sir.☝️
There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity.🤓
It is high time for humanity to awaken from all INANE superstitions such as the belief in a Personal God which created the Universe, would you not agree, Slave? 😩
@@TheWorldTeacher you call yourself teacher, yet you don't know what is obvious.
The evidence of God is all around you. You are without excuse. Even your own conscience is proof of God.
And as extra proof of your not knowing everything, I am no sir.
Read the Bible, read Romans, before you throw away thoughtlessly your only hope, read it and ask if it's true.
@@TheWorldTeacher "Is there a god?
I do not know.
Is man immortal?
I do not know.
But one thing I do know
Is that neither doubt nor hope, belief nor denial
Will change the fact.
It is as it is
And it will be as it must be.
We wait and hope".
(Dag Hammarskold I think said that, and I hope I've not misremembered.)
Either way, O "Teacher" it is not necessary to be a believer in order to be charitable to your fellow man. A lesson worth pondering.
@@T-aka-T you are correct, but the Lord Jesus did not come to earth to teach a social gospel. He came as a propitiation, an atonement for your transgressions against a Holy God.
Romans 6:23 " the wages of sin is death,...."
" No liar nor thieves, But nothing unclean will ever enter the kingdom of heaven nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life"
"...but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Love your brother, because that is righteous, but understand someone must pay for every time you did not. Someone must pay for every lie you have told, every rude word you have uttered, every time you have thought something wicked, every theft, no matter how small you are guilty of, had to be atoned for. You are guilty, make a deal with the judge before your appointed time, because then it will be too late. Accept that the Lord Jesus willingly paid for debt so that you don't have to, then trust Him, read His Words and follow Him to life everlasting.
Well said D Thomas- the beauty of the earth screams “A Creator”- no excuse for not believing in God-
I loved this. What a testimony to the love and glory of Christ, in His people, shining as the sun.
Amen
A wonderful story. Just brilliant. I hope that C.S.Lewis is happy with the Lord and Our Lady and all the Angels and Saints and all the clan. We ask him to pray for us. R I P.
Letter to a friend, after watching David Payne's stunning performance:
Thank God for a gift He gave me this morning. I sit, having listened to a one-man show, bathed in wonder, struck by the power of the English language when artfully spoken, bent toward ponderous philosophizing, enthralled once again by great,spiritual realities and a fresh worship of our Almighty God.
For one-and-a-half hours (the length of this video I'm sending you), the scene of this one-man show is nothing but a man, a teapot, his tea cup, and his rust-colored, leather wing chair.
Throughout, I have smiled continuously, felt the tears close to flowing out of my eyes, and sat, disbelieving, that a writer could tell a tale in such a gloriously, crafted fashion. Its subtle, intellectually challenging quips, quotes and questions about life, elevate any listener via sounds rarely heard in today's audios.
C.S. Lewis is virtually resurrected through Englishman, David Payne, who greets his audience holding a teapot and inviting them to join in a chat. His dark suit, vertically striped tie, and white shirt are quite foiled by the starkly styless, light socks that unapologetically sport themselves as he sits in a prim, wing chair. There, this somewhat stocky, aged man, his hairline a bit receding, squirms about as he relives his life's story with you. Frequently he plops his left arm over the top of the chair's wing, or leans to one side, his restless bodily movements signaling the mundane-to-moving funny, grievous, ironic, puzzling moments in the life of a great, literary figure of our lifetimes.
My dear Eileen, no evening movie can compare with this intellectually, spiritually mesmerizing communication. The audio fully compensates for the rather staid props and limited actions. Special time must be set aside to listen, because, early on, wonder at the subtle, clever use of the English language will weld the listener to the spot for the duration.
David Payne has a phenomenal memory and proves himself to be a seasoned actor. He is an obvious lover of our Lord, as one discovers most clearly in the closing minutes of the video. David Payne evaporated, and we are allowed into the friendly confidences of a living, C.S. Lewis, who devotes the second half of his stunning soliloquy to sentimentalizing the lovely, personal details of the blossoming love between C.S. Lewis and Joy Gresham.
Payne could have swimmingly chose a finale with merely the highly emotional, intimate look at his wife Joy's passing-- her last words, her last wit, the reflected glory of God on her face. Instead, he devotes the final precious moments with his audience, not in sermonizing, but unveiling the compelling, almost crushing expectations of the coming, joyous realities of eternity. A coming life that, this side of eternity, is inhabited by those we daily brush shoulders with. They are more than mythical gods and goddesses. Every precious human being is a unique, breathing soul, created in God's image. And there are those about us, benefitters of their faith in God and His salvation, who are truly redeemed immortals -- those I delight in describing as "the deathless ones." Deathless ones from Eden onwards, transcending the pages of the Bible's two testaments and centuries of history.
Eileen, I couldn't help but think of you and your dear Tom, who is waiting in Act II, at the beginning of our eternity. If you have never heard this production, and if you are so inclined, I hope you will be blessed with uninterrupted solitude, because every moment of this fabulously constructed soliloquy is savored best by no distraction.
One of the most beautiful love stories you may ever hear. Listen carefully to the very end.
What an awesome performance. You can tell he is one with CS Lewis. The last half hour -- where he talks about his relationship with Joy -- brought me to tears.
me too. tears.
I, too. Could hardly get through it.
It was so beautifully written. I cried too
I cried too. CS Lewis' Book "A Grief Observed" helped me through a very difficult time when my husband and father of my three children died of a chronic illness.
I was slightly indignant from being held captivated by Mr Payne’s work & then have the weight of loss thrust upon me
wow, what an acting masterclass by David Payne! He brings CS Lewis to life, and what a memory he must have to recite all these lines!
Excellent thought provoking 🙏🏼

Masterpiece! Still crying with joy!
I was mesmerized and enthralled by the vigour, dynamic and supreme wit of English lore.
Worth the time to watch.
God bless. ❤💕
For Lewis not known to be an emotive but an intectual man, this play really depicted more humanely.
Amazing! Superb! Fantabulous! William Payne deserves a kind of Nobel for this...
Lewis one of the most down to earth genuine people ever!!! Nothing held him back from truth or at least not giving up the search until he found truth!
David Payne is wonderful. Thank you University of California for this presentation.
Absolutely incredible performance! Stunning! I felt I was in the presence of C.S. Lewis. David Payne has extraordinary talent. He's a master of his craft. It has been an honour and a privilege to have viewed this video. Thank you for posting it and allowing us mere mortals to see this heavenly performance
How did this guy remember all his lines? Impressive!
This actor has a heck of a memory.
Outstanding. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
A remarkable performance about a remarkable man, a joy from beginning to the end.
I'm a new fan of CS Lewis I'm ashamed to say, his fame is far less than it should be he is brilliant
Give it time, in time his fame will be what history determines.
Many others with much less, throughout history have much fame, give it time Woodie, just time.
Be in peace.
As a daughter of Northern Ireland , how proud I am of my country man CSLewis
I cannot get enough of my searching to know more about this wonderful
Scholar , his integrity, his honesty
I'm amazed not only by this marvellous acting but by the text collection! It brings to life also Tolkien! I'm a CSLewis fan since I was a child living in Brazil's interior and many years after a Tolkien's fan when I went to get my MScience in Agriculture in the UFla. I consider myself blessed, miraculously blessed, to have have found those great minds...My mind, my world was expanded many times... Thank you, Lord!

This is a brilliant portrayal of a brilliant man. C.S.Lewis was a master craftsman of the old school, a gentleman, a soldier of Christ. He is sorely missed.

Wow! What a splendid man to tell the story of splendid C S Lewis! I cried tears of all emotions! ♥️
David Payne shows true brilliance in this performance. A master actor in this portrayal of the life of C.S. Lewis.
I knew he was amazing with pen. But to hear him tell his story is to intimately share his precious gift. This was unforgettable. Thank you for sharing this with me.
What an amazing man. Loved hearing about his faith and his wife.
I can not explain how much I love this.
Eloquently & beautifully
Relayed as to the souls reaction to true love.
David paynes acting chops are impressive. To keep an audience entertained this long by yourself seems the hardest thing to tackle in theater. (Yes i do exclude comedians)
As a kid, my family saw a one-man show portraying Lincoln -- at Ford's Theater, no less! It was amazing, and I think you are right about the challenge -- I was struck by it even as a young person....
This audience in majority seems to be a serious and well interested in the theme.

The mark of brilliance is not the intellectual that comes from the mouth that so many believe. The humility and grace that comes within now that is radiance. In many of his stories CS Lewis created characters based on this and the Lion Aslan is a brilliant example. I am grateful that his books filled my heart during my childhood. Mr Payne you did a wonderful characterization of an amazing man who faced many trials and tribulations but kept rising and his faith alone was the reason. A testament to the love you had for him.
totally awesome . Tears streamed down my face all though the last part.
Same here
Brilliantly crafted.
Lewis is a treasure.
Well Whollygrail Victory,, you can keep your treasure,,,,,,I’ll Bury Mine,,,,,,,
Brilliant! Mr Payne is very convincing. A wonderful way t 'meet' an amazing author.
That was just wonderful and beautiful.
Thank you to all parties responsible.
WELL! I have no words to describe what an impact this made on me. I was totally riveted all the time. Thank you for sharing this precious portrayal of Lewis so superbly done by David Payne. Thank you!
You suffer from Christian Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Rube.
On a trip to England in the early 80s, I had the improbable good fortune to visit The Kilns, Lewis's home outside of Oxford. There in the living room, I listened to Walt Hooper, Lewis's secretary, tell stories of his life with the great man. I would never have imagined that I would, one day, sit in the room where Mere Christianity was written -- not to mention the books of Narnia. It was obvious that Walt - with his gentle almost hushed recollections of the life that had filled the Kilns - had loved Lewis. It was a very modest place that was full of Lewis's absence, full of the kind of quiet that follows the bang of the back door.
Every word, every sentence, is poetic… As if he does not know how to do it any other way… Brilliant storytelling
GOD IS THE GIVER AND YOU ARE THE GIFT AND WHAT A GIFT YOU ARE . THESE WORDS ARE FOR YOU MR. LEWIS AND HOW TRUE THEY ARE . RIP JACK LEWIS YOUR HOME NOW
There’s only one TINY little problem with what you wrote above, Sir.☝️
There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity.🤓
It is high time for humanity to awaken from all INANE superstitions such as the belief in a Personal God which created the Universe, would you not agree, Slave? 😩
@@TheWorldTeacher I pray that you will seek and find the truth about Jesus Christ who died on the cross over 2000 yrs for you and I. Please study near death experiences, true near death experiences. Many children have also spoken with Jesus while their heart had stopped beating. Medical doctors are also among near death experiences meeting Jesus and Satan, Hell. Hell exists, Satan exists and you will find out the second you breathe your last breath with your thinking.
@@Psalm-31-24, I apologize for shattering your illusions, Slave, but Lord Jesus DIED a couple of millennia ago. 🙄
First of all, Mr. Deluded Religionist, there is no TANGIBLE evidence for the claim that Lord Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to some mythical place called “Heaven”.
Words in a book can not prove anything which has occurred in the phenomenal sphere. Words, at best, can only prove abstract concepts. 🤓
Secondly, even if He did, in fact, rise after one and a half days, His body was not the same as the one He had at the time of death (assuming what was written in the Gospels is accurate).
In fact, it was SO different, that at least some of His closest disciples were unable to recognise Lord Jesus, even after conversing with their master for several hours.🤔
“After this he appeared in ANOTHER form to two of them, as they were walking into the country.”
Mark 16:12.
And, obviously, a person IS the physical body (plus consciousness).
There is absolutely no evidence of such a thing as a “soul” or a “spirit”.
@@TheWorldTeacher I feel sorry for you. Good luck with your ignorance!!! I know people who have seen and spoken with Jesus and experienced HIS Love. Your free will to be prideful makes you ignorant to the truth.
@@Psalm-31-24, PMS are the initials for “Premenstrual Syndrome”, which every woman (except, perhaps, Mama Maria) has at LEAST once a month, when she cannot control her moods and emotions.
And it seems from your impetuous and DISRESPECTFUL response, that you are experiencing some kind of premenstrual affliction, Slave?
One of the greatest writers along with JRR Tolkien. I’ve read all their works. I marveled T their originality and creativity!
Inviting all to listen to this. Very profound. Gripping. Trajectory of emotions.
Thank you for upload.
May Jesus bless us all.
Witty, illustrative, factual. comical, hilarious, informative, candid....are the adjectives to describe Mr. David Payne' s brilliant portrayal of C.S. Lewis.

C.S.Lewis has a special place in my heart, as my father read all the Narnia books to my brother and I as children. Remembering my father weeping after Shadowlands, as he recalled his own parents' experiences with cancer, brought tears of my own now that he too is gone, from cancer. This play was beautiful and I could have listened for hours more. Thanks so much for sharing it. It has rekindled a desire to read Lewis again.
Superb. I have listened to this more than once. I cried this is so beautiful. God's grace is in his words.

This is truly amazing. As I have done my share of acting I can appreciate that one man sitting in front of an audience with only a chair and a table and speaking more or less non-stop is quite remarkable. To remember all those lines and I agree with the positive comments that others have written. A most unique method of portraying a person's life story. Well done indeed Mr Payne.
What a brilliant man!! I love this. A fellow believer of Jesus Christ, CS LEWIS. He's amazing. Thanks so much for this!!!
Such a special man, I learned more, understanding of the real factors for living a worthy life. I’m in love with C.S. Lewis and his writings✝️🙏❤️

I believe this actor David Payne captured the Inner Essence a CS Lewis and carefully and respectfully shared CS Lewis aluminum moments. I was not only transported but I identified with my own illumined moments of my own deep love,
the love of my life which I was blessed with in my own life
This video started up after another I was watching ended, and suddenly I was held captive for 1 1/2 hours. My heart is full.
I began reading the works of Lewis more than 40 years ago. I love his books and the story of his life. Thank you for posting this. If anyone out there has never seen the movie "Shadowlands", you really should see it. It is about the life of Lewis and is a really good film.
***** You are very welcome. Lewis is one of the greatest Christian apologist of all time. If you are blessed by his writings you will love Shadowlands.

I stumbled across this presentation last week and finished watching it today. I was moved. Well done to Mr. David Payne. I don’t think I’ve been so impressed by a performance about the life of C.S. Lewis since the last time I watched the movie “Shadowlands” with Sir Anthony Hopkins in the lead role.
I've listened to this 6 times..such a love story.
