    This was so informative! Will be reading the references. C.S. Lewis books keep coming into my view. I think a trip to the library is in order. Which should I read first?
    The exciting thing was where you live. I live in Southern Illinois, at least 2 times a year we visit my aunt in Springlake! I love your area!!

      Hi Cindy,

      I’m so pleased you enjoyed this podcast.

      C.S. Lewis has written so many books. It really depends on what you are looking for. For yourself or to use with children? Fiction or theology? Non-fiction?

      We just drove through Spring Lake a few weeks ago! We took a drive out to Grand Haven to see Lake Michigan and try out a longer distance for Caroline in the new car. (She struggles with car sickness.) Spring Lake is a cute little area. I’m not originally from West Michigan, but I really do like living here. So many nice little towns in addition to all that Grand Rapids has to offer.

      Sallie
