The Most Reluctant Convert: How C.S. Lewis Was Surprised by Joy

Surprised by Joy

C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of The Chronicles of Narnia, was once a hardened atheist. In his spiritual autobiography, *Surprised by Joy*, he reveals the strange, elusive experience he calls 'Joy'—a longing so intense it outshines all earthly pleasures. But this Joy wasn't happiness. It was a painful, unsatisfied desire that pointed beyond itself. In this video, we trace Lewis's journey from a grief-stricken boy, through brutal boarding schools, to the halls of Oxford, where his sharpest friends dismantled his materialism. Discover how a man who clung to logic was cornered by truth, and how the very thing he sought ultimately led him to a faith he never wanted. This is the story of the most reluctant convert in England.
