In our final episode of our “Lies About Life” series, Patti Callahan Henry joins our host, Kat Armstrong, to share the story behind her captivating novel, Becoming Mrs. Lewis, which illuminates the life of Joy Davidman.
While C.S. Lewis remains one of the most well-known figures in history, many people are unaware of the wife, Joy Davidman’s story and brilliant work.
Not only did Joy have a tremendous impact on his work, but her own story of bravely defying cultural expectations and asking the big questions about God should serve as an inspiration to us all. In today’s episode, Patti thoughtfully shares about the lies she believes Joy battled with and how she courageously overcame them.
