Most recently, Doug has been working with Walden Media to bring The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to the big screen. The live action feature film, to be released Christmas 2005, will be co-financed and distributed by Walt Disney Studios.

Walter Hooper
Having served as Lewis’ companion-secretary during a very memorable summer just shortly before Lewis’ death in 1963, Mr. Hooper has since served as the Literary Advisor to the estate of C.S. Lewis and faithful editor of dozens of Lewis’ writings. In addition to C.S. Lewis: A Biography, written together with Roger Lancelyn Green, he is the author of the invaluable C.S. Lewis Companion & Guide and is currently at work on the three volume Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis. He resides in Oxford, England.

Nigel Goodwin
Nigel Goodwin is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and former student of Francis Schaeffer and Hans Rookmaker at L’Abri. He is also the Founder of the London Arts Centre Group, a Trustee of the C.S. Lewis Foundation, and Executive Director of Genesis Arts Trust, a ministry committed to serving the needs of Christian artists throughout the world. Nigel and his wife, Gillian, live on the Isle of Wight and are the parents of three grown daughters.

Stan Mattson
Dr. Mattson is the Founder and President of the C.S. Lewis Foundation, Redlands, CA. He is Director of the triennial C.S. Lewis Summer Institute in Oxbridge and Director of the C.S. Lewis Study Centre at The Kilns in Oxford. He has devoted much of his professional life to encouraging the renewal of a vital Christian presence within the mainstream world of secular higher education. In conjunction with this work, Dr. Mattson lectures widely on the life and legacy of C.S. Lewis and related subjects on many campuses and churches across America. He and his wife, Jean, have been married for 42 years and have two adult children and four grandsons.

John R.W. Stott
No British evangelical leader is held in higher esteem worldwide than John Stott—Rector Emeritus of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, and Honorary Special Chaplain to the Queen. Dr. Stott has authored more than forty books, nearly all still in print. His most popular title, Basic Christianity, has sold over two million copies and been translated into 70+ languages! Though he has taught and preached in every corner of the globe, Dr. Stott has lived in the same five-square-block neighborhood of central London for more than 80 years. For writing, he often retreats to his primitive Welsh cottage, perfectly perched to look out over Pembrokeshire’s western tip. Our port call in Solva puts us in Dr. Stott’s “neighborhood,” and we look forward to his Sunday morning sermon as the guest preacher at St. David’s Cathedral.

Plus: David Bleakley M.P., Keith Getty, John Gillespie, Kim Gilnett, and Kristyn Lennox
