Enchantment, Disenchantment, and Emotional Vocabulary

Prize-winning author Francis Spufford was an atheist for over 20 years before finding his way back to faith. His book 'Unapologetic: Why, despite everything, Christianity can still make surprising emotional sense' was an unconventional response to New Atheism. 

Hollywood screenwriter and bestselling novelist Andrew Klavan, also came to Christian faith as an adult from a secular Jewish background - a story he tells in his book 'The Great Good Thing'. 

Justin hears both their conversion stories in this bonus edition of the podcast. The documentary format resumes next time.
