Description

In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on the transformative power of reading and the enduring influence of C.S. Lewis. From Lewis’s reluctant yet profound conversion to the imaginative world of Narnia, Dr. Patrick explores how stories shape children’s understanding of truth, faith, and beauty. He emphasizes the importance of parents and grandparents reading aloud, the decline of deep reading in today’s screen-driven world, and the significance of literature in spiritual formation.
