So begins an imaginative journey in which the literature professor mysteriously appears in Thomas Clerk's hospital room. "Call me Jack," Lewis says as he invites Clerk to step into a wardrobe. From there the two embark on a remarkable voyage through Lewis's life. They experience pivotal events from Lewis's childhood and meet many of his real and imaginary friends, visiting the Kilns with his brother, Warnie, and spending time in Oxford with fellow writers and Inklings members J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles Williams. They also sit with Lewis's dying wife, Joy Davidman, and they even enter the world of Narnia.

Along the way, Lewis challenges Clerk's thinking about the existence of God, the truth of Christianity, the problem of pain and suffering, the nature of love, and much more. Are human beings a cosmic accident? Can we have morality without God? Was Jesus just a guru? Can we really believe in heaven and hell? Tom and Jack discuss these and many other questions, and they invite you to eavesdrop on their conversations. Prepare yourself for some of the most invigorating discussions you may ever experience this side of heaven.
