Max McLean

Using C.S. Lewis's own words, award-winning actor Max McLean inhabits Lewis to take us on his rigorous journey from hard-boiled atheist to 'the most reluctant convert in all England.' Discover how the 'Hound of Heaven' pursued Lewis relentlessly until he finally 'gave in' only to become the most influential Christian writer of the 20th century.

NCLA Review - Max McLean is a professional reader and dramatic presenter of Scripture on stage and radio. You may be familiar with his narration of The Listener’s Bible, his Listen to the Bible radio program, and his readings of Mark’s Gospel, Genesis, and The Screwtape Letters recorded on DVD. McLean observes that during worship, reading of Scripture is not engaging when read by untrained, ungifted readers. Passionate reading of Scripture during worship prepares the congregation to show more engage with the message of the sermon. For this reason, he paired up with Rev. Dr. Warren Bird to write an outstanding how-to guide for selecting gifted speakers and training them to read Scripture aloud and elevate God’s spoken Word to a higher level. A DVD located inside the back cover includes: examples of readers reading Scripture, discussions of how to choose people for a Scripture Reading Team, explanation of how to prepare for readings, three readings and six dramatic presentations of Scripture by Max McLean.
