ADDED: Don't miss part two: Narnia Comes to Life.CT: You've said, "Jack was the finest man and the best Christian I've ever known." Why do you feel that way?
Gresham: Jack was a man who was always available, and I think this is the crux of Christianity. We all tend to read complex Christian books analyzing the Scriptures, analyzing the various doctrines. And all that does is complicate the issues. God sent down all his rules and regulations; they were ignored. He sent the prophets; they were ignored. Jesus came down himself to tell us how to live real human lives, and he was ignored. Since then, scholars have written critical and analytical things about the Scriptures. But C. S. Lewis wrote in his books, This is how to do what Jesus taught. His message is, "Stop talking about it, stop studying it, just get out there and do Christianity." Jack did it.

Interview with Douglas Gresham
Check out Christianity Today's web site for an interview with Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis's stepson. Gresham has been working as a consultant on Disney's filming of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and has just finished another book on Lewis, Jack's Life.

He also did a pretty interesting interview with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. I've excerpted one of the questions here.
