I've heard of C.S. Lewis most of my life, and read his books, read about him, and I truly respect who he was and what he taught. But, only this year I learned that his friends and family all called him Jack! It seems that at an early age of four, he decided that Clive Staples was not who he was, so he took on the name of Jacksie after a neighborhood dog he treasured bearing that name was recently deceased. There are so many tales and stories about this man and his work that I want to create this blog to honor him and perpetuate his legacy. Please check back from time to time, and please comment where you find something to add about him or his work.
