In Awe by Bruce

What can God do with fifty days?

In only fifty days Peter was radically transformed. He went from being a man in the shadows denying even knowing Jesus, to a man boldly proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus in the middle of the temple courts. How did the change occur? And more importantly, can such a change occur within us—today, in the here and now?

Erica Wiggenhorn’s book An Unexplainable Life can help you get to where you thought you couldn’t go in your walk with the Lord.

An elder C.S. Lewis looks back on his remarkable journey from hard-boiled atheist to the most renowned Chrsitian writer of the past century.  The Most Reluctant Convert features award-winning actor Max McLean as the older Lewis and Nicholas Ralph - breakout star of PBS Materpiece’s All Creatures Great and Small - as young Lewis.  Beautifully filmed in and around Oxford, this engaging biopic follows the creator of The Chronicles of Narnia from the tragic death of his mother when he was just nine years- old, through his strained relationship with his father, to the nightmare of the trenches of World War I to Oxford University, where friends like J.R.R. Tolkien challenge his unbelief.

Norman Stone

Norman Stone began his professional career in television as the youngest producer/director to be working at the BBC, and soon established himself as a top film maker with his highly acclaimed film A Different Drummer about the blind and deaf Christian poet, Jack Clemo. Four years later, he created Shadowlands, the gripping film drama on the love and loss of C.S. Lewis, which earned two BAFTA awards, an International Emmy, and the coveted ‘Prague D'or’ for Best Director. This film went on to be an award-winning stage play, as well as a Hollywood movie.

Other dramas followed included Martin Luther – Heretic, starring Jonathan Pryce; New World with James Fox; The Vision starring Dirk Bogarde, Lee Remick and Helena Bonham-Carter, and the award-winning Burston Rebellion with Eileen Atkins and Bernard Hill. Stone was also asked to direct the internationally acclaimed CBS co-production Pied Piper, starring Peter O'Toole. 

He then directed two of the famous BBC Miss Marples films, starring the iconic Joan Hickson in the title role, and also, The Black Velvet Gown, which earned him his second International Emmy.  

Always interested in experimenting with new forms of filmic storytelling, Stone went on to create and direct The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, which starred Jeremy Irons and was nominated for a prestigious ACE Award in the category of Best International Drama. 

This experience led directly to Tales from the Mad House, an award-winning series of one-man dramas, featuring such stars as Jonathan Pryce, Dame Eileen Atkins, Joss Ackland, Claire Bloom, James Cosmo and Helen Baxendale, before making the gritty, Glasgow feature film, Man Dancin’ which collected more international awards.

A string of new dramas followed, including C.S. Lewis - Beyond Narnia, Florence Nightingale, The Narnia Code and KJB - The Book that Changed the World (winner of The Templeton, Movie Guide, Epiphany Prize).

In 2020, Norman completed a major Feature Documentary narrated by Ewan McGregor, The Final Fix, exploring a remarkably effective new treatment for drug addiction, and in 2021, during lockdown, he wrote and directed a new, creative drama on C.S. Lewis called The Most Reluctant Convert. This film was cinema-premiered in over 500 American cities in November 2021 and has already been seen in over 120 countries around the world.

Norman is currently preparing a dramatically challenging feature film, Raising Hell, the true story of the battle to beat child prostitution in Victorian England, and is also developing an exciting, new TV action series, ROK, set in Gibraltar and the Mediterranean.

Irving and Kasim, showing their shared tats

Kasim Hafeez

Kasim Hafeez is a British citizen of Pakistani Muslim heritage who grew up being exposed to radical Anti-Western, Antisemitic and Anti-Israel ideas on a daily basis. During his teenage years Kasim embraced a radical Islamist ideology and became very active in the anti-Israel movement. Thankfully Alan Dershowitz’s book ‘The Case for Israel’ challenged Kasim’s fundamental beliefs and caused him to undertake a period of research and reflection that led him to Israel in 2007. Witnessing the true nature of the Jewish state changed Kasim’s perception of Israel. He felt a moral obligation to publicly speak out for Israel and the dangers of radical Islam. He has spoken all over the world including the 2013 Global Forum on Combatting Antisemitism. Kasim has appeared on radio, television and print media.

We stand at a critical point in history where the legal framework of Roe vs Wade is in jeopardy. Americans are being confronted with important fundamental questions about abortion, and are being asked to consider exactly how they stand on this important matter, and why. The award-winning documentary, The Matter of Life, asks the questions in a thoughtful and provocative way to establish clarity and perspective in hearts and minds.

Tracy Robinson

Tracy Robinson has been in the film and video industry for over a decade-primarily as a video editor. Several years ago, she heard the case against abortion for the first time and was immediately inspired to make her first feature film, THE MATTER OF LIFE.  With a combination of donations and her own funds, the production finally came to fruition. Knowing that 4 in 10 women who have had abortions attended church in the month they became pregnant, the mission is to reach a Christian audience.

In Jesus and Women Niamh Middleton combines insights from evolutionary biology, feminism and the #MeToo movement to highlight the revolutionary attitude of Jesus towards women.

Niamh M. Middleton most recently lectured about Theology and Philosophy at Dublin City University from 2005 to 2020 until she decided to take early retirement in order to focus on her writing. A former primary school teacher, she previously studied at Mater Dei, Dublin and the Pontifical University Maynooth. Her main area of research concerns the implications of evolutionary theory for Christianity and the relationships between religion and science overall. Her previous publications include Homo Lapsus: Sin, Evolution and the God who is Love (2019). She spent most of her life as an atheist and eventually married her childhood sweetheart Gerry, who had an interest in becoming a Roman Catholic priest. Despite their disagreement on the subject of religion, he eventually decided to not become a priest, due to their desire to get married, which they did, and became parents of two daughters. Middleton remained an atheist for more than a decade after her marriage until a challenging life event caused her to fall back on her religion and draw comfort from it. She became a born-again Christian and in 1994 began a study of theology which culminated with the award of a Ph.D in 2003. She lives in the seaside suburb of Clontarf, Dublin, where she is involved in an ecumenical Bible study group.
