[PODCAST] Dorothy and Jack (Gina Dalfonzo)

Not many people are aware C.S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers were friends. When did these two great writers meet and what impact did they have on each other’s lives? That is the topic of my podcast interview with Gina Dalfonzo, author of Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis. …

D.L. Moody: A Life (Kevin Belmonte)

This is a very different edition of All About Jack. Normally I share material more directly related to C.S. Lewis, but that’s not the case today. Instead I’m sharing an interview I asked Gina Dalfonzo to conduct on my behalf with Kevin Belmonte about his new book called D.L. Moody A Life: Innovator, Evangelist, World Changer. While we know of no direct influence Moody had on Lewis, we do know that Moody advocated what Lewis would later call “Mere Christianity.”

Lewis & Women #4 – Top Three Women

This is the forth and final show that explores how C.S. Lewis viewed women. Some think he either hated females, or at least feared them. Even those who know this isn’t true have a hard time explaining why. Dr. Crystal Hurd, who has done a series of blog posts on the topic, is William O’Flaherty’s special guest to explore this topic. Gina Dalfonzo, the editor of Breakpoint.org joins in as guest co-host. This last episode examines three women in Lewis’s later life that he was closest to: Ruth Pitter, Dorothy Sayers and Joy Davidman.
