From Darkness to Light: Joseph Pearce’s Journey with C.S. Lewis

In this podcast episode, Pastor Bruce interviews Joseph Pearce, an author whose life exemplifies the transformative power of grace and faith. He is the general editor of the Ignatius Critical Editions series.  Pearce shares his personal journey from being a white supremacist in the UK to becoming a devout Christian influenced heavily by authors like GK Chesterton, CS Lewis, and JRR Tolkien. Pearce, who has written over 30 books, discusses his latest works: 'Classic Literature Made Simple' and 'Great Books For Good Men.' He reflects on the moral power of literature, the relevance of CS Lewis's works today, and how stories and literature can teach deep Biblical truths. The conversation emphasizes that no one is too far gone to be redeemed by Christ, and it highlights the enduring value of reading with purpose.

It has been said, quite correctly, that we write as well as we read. It can also be said that we think as well as we read. Since reading well is so important, it is good to get into the habit of reading good books. The better the book, the better will be our ability to think well and write well.
