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.) Plant Your Seed Fred Ferris Welcome to Plant Your Seed, where we believe real change begins within.Through raw and authentic conversations, we explore how compassion, conscious living, and plant-based choices transform not only our health, but the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.The show serves as a lived expression of The Harmony Paradigm — a philosophical framework examining how resonance, nervous system regulation, and internal coherence shape perception, decision-making, relationships, and leadership in modern life.Our hope is simple: that these conversations inspire you to Plant Your Seed — in your body, your relationships, and your leadership — and participate more consciously in the world you're helping to create.
