Jerry Kiser believes he has found, in the work of celebrated writer C.S. Lewis, the heart of a counselor. Lewis, known largely for his Chronicles of Narnia children’s fantasy books, was a fierce defender of Christianity. He died in 1963, leaving behind numerous literary essays, reviews and more than 30 fiction and non-fiction books.
