What lesson in grace and truth did you learn from sharing the gospel with your father? (audio)

Are you a member of ChiLibris [novelist group]?

Yes, I have been part of ChiLibris since the beginning, when we had something like 18 of us, I think.

How old were you when you wrote your first book?

I started writing my first book, Christians in the Wake of the Sexual Revolution, when I was 29, and finished when I was 31.

What books and authors do you read in your free time?

I just read a wonderful novel, Jayber Crow, by Wendell Berry. I like Angela Hunt and Jim Bell as novelists, and anything by Francine Rivers. I know Ang, Jim and Frani, and respect them, which helps, too. For nonfiction, I like John Piper, D. A. Carson, Tim Keller, and others.

What do you think of the Chronicles of Narnia movies?

On the Narnia movies, generally I really like them. There are small criticisms, things I think would make them better, but overall I really enjoy them. Doug Gresham, one of the co-producers (and C. S. Lewis's step-son) is a friend. Let me just say we all owe Doug a huge debt for holding to certain key aspects of Lewis's stories, or the movies could have turned out a vast departure from the core tenets of the books.

Who are your favorite authors?

My favorite authors include C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, A. W. Tozer and Francis Schaeffer. Also Phil Yancey, John Piper, and Tim Keller.
