Dying on the same day as President John F Kennedy (November 22^nd, 1963), this Christian author wrote several famous books including: “The Screwtape Letters” (Now Playing on “Focus on the Family Radio Theatre”), “Mere Christianity”, and is probably now more known for his fiction series “The Chronicles of Narnia”. At the age of ten his mother had died of cancer and by his teenage years he was an atheist. His pilgrimage back to God began in 1926 with a conversation with a friend he respected and later with some other friends including J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings). Over time he became more and more convinced that the events of the Bible had really happened. Name this Christian author.
