C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.) J.D. Souther - Audio Biography Inception Point Ai J.D. Souther (born November 2, 1945) is an influential American singer-songwriter and musician, celebrated for his pivotal role in shaping the country rock genre during the 1970s. Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Amarillo, Texas, Souther emerged from a musically rich background that fostered his early interest in songwriting and performance. His career was notably intertwined with the Los Angeles music scene, particularly at the Troubadour, where he collaborated with iconic artists such as Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne, forming the folk duo Longbranch/Pennywhistle and significantly contributing to the emergence of the California sound. Souther is perhaps best known for his songwriting prowess, having penned numerous hits for himself and others, including the Eagles' classics "Heartache Tonight" and "New Kid in Town." His lyrical depth and emotional resonance have garnered him widespread acclaim, earning him a place in the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013.
