Hello, this is Dr. Crystal Downing, the author of Subversive, the Christ Culture, and the shocking Dorothy L. Sayers.

And I'm glad to be here with Pints with Jack.

Come in by the Gold Gates or not at all, take my fruit for others or forbear.

For those who steal or those who climb my wall shall find their heart's desire and find despair.

This is Pints with Jack, season six, episode, The Magician's Nephew, Part 2.

Chapters 9 to 15.

Hello everyone. Here on Pints for Jack, we're reading our way to the works of C.S. Lewis.

I'm David, and I'm joined by my co-host Matt and Uncle Andrew, as well as Lazo Major, Dr.

Christen Ditchfield Lazo.

This season we have found ourselves among the stars, reading through the first of

CS Lewis's science fiction trilogy out of the silent planet. But we haven't been in

Malacandra today. We have been in Narnia. And we're reading the concluding part of the penultimate

entry in the Chronicles of Narnia, The Magician's Nephew. So, hello everyone. We have

literally just carried on from the previous episode. But Kristen, tell us what you've been up to

recently. Oh, my goodness. Lots of writing, always lots of writing, and planning some new things,

exploring the Chronicles of Narnia. I'm talking to some publishers about some things we might do

because it is so rich and so deep and there is so much life wisdom, biblical wisdom, you know,

that you can never get to the end of the Chronicles because they're full of scripture,

which we can never get to the end of.

And so I'm excited to see, too early to say, but excited to see what God does with all of that.

And thrilled to be here with you all.

Well, it's very fortunate that you know a CS Lewis scholar in Matt, and I can probably help as well,
