C. From a firm atheist to a reluctant believer, this dramatic true story of S. Lewis began in his turbulent childhood. After his mother died of cancer and became estranged from his father, a young C.S. Lewis believed that life was desolate and unfortunate. Under the guidance of the atheist William T. Kirkpatrick and his tragic experience in The Great War, he consolidated his position of materialism until he became friends with J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. His intellectual companions - all Christians - demanded that he consider the logic, mythology, and literary cases of Christianity, and Lewis must face a life changing choice: to adhere to materialism or to give his life to Jesus Christ.
