C.S. LEWIS, PRAY-ER AND TEACHER OF PRAYER
How does a boy who gave up Christianity because of God’s failure to answer prayers for a dying mother become a best-selling Christian teacher of prayer? Come to our C. S. Lewis workshop and also feel free to join the Benedictine monks for their prayer. In morning and afternoon conferences, Dr. Ford will lead discussions of all of Lewis’s books, essays, poems, examples, pictures, and stories about prayer. (A bibliography is available for those who want to start the reading.)
DR. PAUL FORD has been reading C.S. Lewis since he was fifteen years old (since 1962) and has become an internationally recognized expert on the life and writings of C.S. Lewis and author of the award-winning book, Companion to Narnia (now in its fifth edition, HarperCollins, 2005) and of the Pocket Companion to Narnia (HarperCollins, 2005). His most recent Lewis-related publications are: Yours, Jack: Spiritual direction from C.S. Lewis (San Francisco: HarperOne, 2008) and Words to Live By: A Dictionary for the Mere Christian (San Francisco: HarperCollins, 2007)
