<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode from the archive, Dr. Jerry Root shares with Carole stories about his college days and finding faith by reading C.S. Lewis, the “author who opens more than wardrobe doors.” As we read Lewis, he leads us into portals of many other authors and books, especially old books. This week, we're discussing how reading Lewis's work spiritually forms us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Root also shares how he helps others to begin with C.S. Lewis’s works—whether you love fiction, satire, novels, or nonfiction—and gives encouragement for fanning the flame of your child’s curiosity.
