PWJ: S2E42 – Bonus – “A vignette from ‘The Great Divorce'”
To round off Season 3, I thought I’d share a recording of a vignette from The Great Divorce which I recorded some time ago, back when our San Diego C.S. Lewis Reading Group was studying that book.

C.S. Lewis Recording
I often meet people who think that C.S. Lewis was English. He wasn’t, he was actually born and raised in Belfast. However, if anyone has heard one of the few remaining recordings of Lewis, they could easily be forgiven for this mistake since he has a remarkably “plummy” English accent.
Below you’ll find YouTube videos containing all the remaining audio of Lewis which I can find…

C.S. Lewis on Confession
In my recent appearance on The Catholic Man Show, I mentioned that C.S. Lewis went to weekly confession to an Anglican priest. I thought I’d share one of his letters today where he points out the value of confessing our sins out loud:
…there is the gain in self-knowledge: most of [us] have never really faced the facts about ourselves until we uttered them aloud in plain words, calling a spade a spade. I certainly feel I have profited enormously by the practice.

Not only is Confession biblical, it’s also good psychology 🙂
