Rob Jones is a poet, musician, two-time #1 Amazon bestselling author—and happily for us, a lover of the Inklings. His literary accomplishments include two books of poetry—The Hidden Work: Poems Inspired by the Writings of C. S. Lewis and Re-enchanted—as well as two children’s books, Here Comes the Night and Poetic Pete, and a new adult romance novel, Bad Boys of the Kingdom. His poetry has been featured in Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal and Cultivating Oaks Press.
In this interview, Rob shares about, among other things, the importance of the arts and the role of beauty in the church; why creativity and wonder matter for all who call themselves Christians; the significance of community and interdependence within the Christian faith; the power of literature to transform consciousness and build connection; and the value of fiction in illustrating truths about life and spirituality. All of this is offered with beautiful humility and grace. Plus, if you are anything like me, you are going to love his voice. Also, he reads some of his poetry for us :)

They reflect the dark years of the military dictatorship in Greece which seized power in a swift coup in April 1967. For the next seven years, until democracy was restored in July 1974, the country experienced strict authoritarian rule, the suppression of political freedoms, and the imprisonment (and often torture) of opponents. Nevertheless, the news we were waiting for arrived, and it could have, perhaps, changed our lives if it weren’t in an unfamiliar language, one that was understood by some who
