"The Most Reluctant Convert" stars Max McLean as an adult Lewis, Nicolas Ralph (All Creatures Great & Small) as college-age Lewis and Eddie Ray Martin as child-age Lewis. The film, directed by two-time Emmy and BAFTA winner Norman Stone and adapted from Lewis' memoir, Surprised by Joy, will be available to stream on PureFlix on Christmas Eve. Lewis' journey from passionate atheist to one of the most influential Christian writers of the past century, is hitting PureFlix just in time for Christmas.
