Kristin Ditchfield Lazo, author of more than 80 books and Bible studies, takes us deep into The Chronicles of Narnia—the best-selling children's series of the 20th century, with over 120 million copies in print. Drawing on decades of research behind her landmark book A Family Guide to Narnia, Kristin reveals where Lewis embedded the gospel without ever intending to write "Sunday school curriculum." Along the way, she shares the remarkable true story of an eight-year-old boy who feared he loved Aslan more than Jesus—and the letter C.S. Lewis wrote back to comfort him. Were these books secretly theology all along, or did the lion just come bounding in on his own?

Reverend Andrew Lazo, internationally known speaker and writer specializing in Lewis and the Inklings, delivers the keynote address at the 2025 C.S. Lewis Festival. Drawing on two decades of research for his forthcoming definitive study of Till We Have Faces, Andrew argues that Lewis's most puzzling novel is not only his best book—Lewis said so himself—but the key to understanding everything Lewis ever wrote. And we may have had Lewis's central theme wrong for 70 years. Was his life's work really about joy, or was it always about something far deeper?
