The Spiritual Formation of C.S. Lewis with Lyle Dorsett

from The Good Life · host Matt Carpenter

Have you ever wondered what made C. S. Lewis such a strong Christian? That exact question stirred Dr. Lyle Dorsett years ago. In researching the spiritual life of the great author, Dr. Dorsett came to lead the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, which houses the largest number of C. S. Lewis artifacts in the U.S. His book on Lewis, Seeking the Secret Place, is a discussion of how Lewis grew as a Christian throughout his life.  Most recently Dr. Dorsett has served as an Anglican clergyman in Birmingham, Alabama, while simultaneously serving as Professor of Evangelism at Beeson Divinity School. He is also the only man I know who, after finding there was no biography of someone, chose to fix the problem by writing it himself. Those biographies were of A. W. Tozer and Joy Davidman (C. S. Lewis's wife). He is now retired.   Books by Dr. Dorsett Seeking the Secret Place A Passion for God: The Spiritual Journey of A. W. Tozer And God Came In: The Extraordinary Story of Joy Davidman Lectures by Dr. Dorsett C. S. Lewis and the Care of Souls - Desiring God 2013 National Conference
