C.S. Lewis’s family pleased with Narnia movie

The stepson of the creator of the much-loved Narnia books says C.S. Lewis would be pleased with the new movie. C.S. Lewis’s stepson, Douglas Gresham, is acting as co-producer on the movie. He told Radio Rhema’s Rob Holding it will be a visual feast.

Douglas Gresham hopes that the movie will be successful enough to allow them to film some of the later books in the Narnia series. He has also laid down a challenge to today’s Christian authors and moviemakers. C.S. Lewis wrote the seven books in the Narnia series as a Christian allegory.

Mr. Gresham says his stepfather, known to his family as Jack, once told him mediocre Christian fiction is not good enough. He said the world needs more Christians writing good books, rather than more people writing Christian books.
