C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

No news today; just perspective pieces as we take the weekend off.

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," is about to open in theaters around the world, in reality a spiritual cousin to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, even though the stories were written by two different men; both good friends. Sarah McLaughlin, professor of English at Texas Tech University and author of "Finding God in ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’" joins us."

In the second hour, we run clips from a talk John gave at Candlelight Fellowship in Hayden, Idaho, on the historic causes nature of religious persecution, comparing it to trends today.
