The Most Reluctant Conversion

The dramatic true story of C. S. Lewis's journey from staunch atheist to reluctant believer begins with his turbulent childhood. After his mother died of cancer and he became estranged from his father, young C.S. Lewis viewed life as bleak and unhappy. His teachings by the atheist William T. Kirkpatrick and his tragic experiences in World War I solidified his materialistic views until he became friends with J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. Challenged by his fellow intellectuals—all Christians—to consider Christianity in terms of logic, mythology, and literature, Lewis must face a life-changing choice between adhering to materialism or dedicating his life to Jesus Christ.
