Before I pray, let me just give two preliminary comments about Lewis books and this manuscript. There's some books by Lewis in the bookstore. There shouldn't

be any when we shut this bookstore down. You won't go wrong in buying something from

Lewis, so if you're So if you see anything there you don't have by Lewis, you should buy it.

And with regard to this manuscript that I'm going to be using.

David has had a chance to work on it this morning,

so it will be on the internet when I'm done here.

So I didn't want him to put it up now because you go there and look at it

while I'm talking, and that would be intimidating to me.

But the best way to listen I think is probably not by taking notes since the manuscript will be there with all of its footnotes, but by thinking

and praying and pondering and maybe jotting questions down for tomorrow's panel. Let's pray. Father in heaven, thank you for your

gift to us of CS Lewis. I want to be faithful first to you.

Second, I want to be faithful to your word.

Third, I want to be faithful to tell the truth about Seuss Lewis and not get him wrong. And I want to tell the story

of his influence on me. And so would you take all of that attempt and make it really profitable for those who hear?

So that their faith would be strong and their joy would go deep and their sense of your absolute truth would be unshaken and they would be mightily

influential for the glory of Christ in this world.

I ask this in Jesus name,

my approach is going to be personal.

I'm going to talk about what Lewis has meant most to me, how he's helped me most.

And as I raise that question, as I have many times over the years as to why this man has been so powerful in my life,

the backdrop of the question becomes increasingly urgent.
