That C.S. Lewis was extremely genial I already know - but who is reading this ? It is amazing!

[@lindathomas2350]

I believe that CS Lewis himself or at least it sounds like his voice.

As always amazing and so consuming of God

[@thomascramer1954]

Around 2:50:00 csl talks about becoming a scoundrel. Wanting to do good but being drawn in from a desire to be in the inner circle where the rules don't apply and disciplines are no longer needed. Every member of congress should heed these words.

Have always read excerpts of Weight of Glory, so great to hear the whole thing

[@jamesedwards.1069]

For me it's the Wait of Glory, considering how long I've lived before I heard this.

DR.GENE SCOTT SUGGESTED C.S.LEWIS AS NECESSARY READING..BRILLIANT..

[@Noone-rt6pw]

So many have worldly ideologies of heaven, according to what they derive pleasures most from on earth. I’ve heard a few preachers address this where so many idea is sex, as preachers have spoke on this,
But we are told there is no male or female in heaven. Being spirit, we may not need physical stimulation. We will find out one day.
