"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
This week I was a guest on one of my favourite podcasts, The Lamp-Post Listener.
The hosts, Daniel and Phil are going through C.S. Lewis’ book, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, chapter by chapter and they invited me on to discuss with them Chapter 16: What Happened About the Statues…

A while ago I posted a series of video interviews with Lewis’ secretary, Walter Hooper. Did you know he converted to Catholicism?
This week I’ve been reading Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by the late Nabeel Qureshi. The book is something of an autobiography, the journey of a fervent Muslim to Christianity.
Nabeel is a great story-teller and this book was definitely a page-turner. I particularly liked his ability to give the reader a substantial introduction to Islam while in the process of recounting his early years.
The apologetic content is thoughtfully handled and what comes across more than anything is the love he had for his former faith and his continued love for his family, despite the strain his conversion inevitably placed upon their relationship.
