Helen Joy Davidman (18 April 1915 – 13 July 1960) was an American poet and writer. Often referred to as a child prodigy, she earned a master's degree from Columbia University in English literature in 1935. For her book of poems, Letter to a Comrade, she won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition in 1938 and the Russell Loines Award for Poetry in 1939. She was the author of several books, including two novels.
While an atheist and after becoming a member of the American Communist Party, she met and married her first husband and father of her two sons, William Lindsay Gresham, in 1942. After a troubled marriage, and following her conversion to Christianity, they divorced and she left America to travel to England with her sons.
Davidman published her best known work, Smoke on the Mountain: An Interpretation of the Ten Commandments in 1954 with a preface by C. S. Lewis. Lewis had been an influence on her work and conversion and became her second husband after her permanent relocation to England in 1956. She died from metastatic carcinoma involving the bones in 1960.
Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. He held academic positions at both Oxford University (Magdalen College), 1925–54, and Cambridge University (Magdalene College), 1954–63. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.
Lewis and fellow novelist J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends. They both served on the English faculty at Oxford University, and were active in the informal Oxford literary group known as the Inklings. According to Lewis' memoir Surprised by Joy, he was baptised in the Church of Ireland, but fell away from his faith during adolescence. Lewis returned to the Anglican Communion at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an "ordinary layman of the Church of England". His faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.

Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Leòdhas, pronounced [ʎɔː.əs̪], also Isle of Lewis) is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides (an archipelago) of Scotland. The total area of Lewis is 683 square miles (1,770 km2).
Lewis is, in general, the lower lying part of the island, with the other part, Harris, being more mountainous. The flatter, more fertile land means Lewis contains the largest settlement, Stornoway, and three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles. Beyond human habitation, the island's diverse habitats are home to an assortment of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, red deer and seals and are recognised in a number of conservation areas.
Lewis is of Presbyterian tradition with a rich history, having once been part of the Norse Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.
Draw My Life is a type of Internet video that began in 2013, following the upload of a video from YouTube celebrity, Sam Pepper. Despite only coming to attention in 2013, YouTuber and musician Bry arguably made the first notable Draw My Life, back in 2011.
Following the video, several other popular YouTube celebrities began uploading Draw My Life videos, some of which were featured on popular online news publications.
The videos are shot in fast-motion photography and consist of someone drawing figures on a whiteboard, which represent events in the person's life. Often, the videos reveal previously hidden upsetting or unfortunate histories or stories, and end in the author thanking their audience for aiding in their success.
Eventually, Draw My Life videos for fictional characters and non-YouTubers such as Harry Potter and Avatar Korra were created.
In December 2013 a Draw My Life video making iPad app was released on the App Store called Draw My Life App.

Joy Davidman is known, if she is known at all, as the wife of C. S. Lewis. Their marriage was immortalized in the film Shadowlands and Lewis’s memoir A Grief Observed. Now, through extraordinary new documents as well as years of research and interviews, Abigail Santamaria brings Joy Davidman Gresham Lewis to the page in the fullness and depth she deserves. A poet and radical, Davidman was an active member of New York literary and communist circles in the 1930s and ’40s.

The story of Joy Lewis, C.S. Lewis’ wife, in her own words, from age 22 (1937) to her conversion from Communism to Christianity at age 31 (1946). (Joy’s first husband was William Gresham. His conversion to Christianity around the same time as Joy was rather short-lived, and he fell into spiritualism and back into extra-marital affairs. In 1954 Joy was divorced by her husband, who had begun a serious romance with Joy’s cousin, whom he later married. Joy was later married in 1956 to her then friend, C.S. Lewis, in a civil ceremony, in order to prevent her deportation from England (she had been refused permission to stay, in all likelihood due to her former membership in the American Communist Party). On the discovery of terminal breast cancer in 1957, Lewis married Joy properly at her ...

On February 28, 2011 at Convocation, North America's largest weekly gathering of Christian students, Douglas Gresham, a producer of The Chronicles of Narnia films and the stepson of C.S. Lewis, imparted some basic spiritual truths about what it means to have the name Christian. Gresham was a co-producer for The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, and executive producer for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and is the author of "Lenten Lands: My Childhood with Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis" and "Jack's Life: The Life Story of C.S. Lewis".
My tribute to the true story of CS Lewis and Joy Gresham's marriage. Hopkins portrays the old bachelor who leads the secluded life of an Oxford professor, often teased and mocked by his friends for turning into a public phenomenon after the creation of the Narnia series. His well-ordonned universe is about to be shattered when he receives the unexpected visit of a fan, an American woman, Joy Gresham and her son, and Lewis gets more than he bargained for. It will take friendship, anger, disease and grief for him to open up his eyes. The movie is an amazing tribute to this heartbreaking romance, wonderfully served by Hopkins and Debra Winger.

Lewis when his wife died from cancer. The love, grief, pain, and sorrow were so shattering to Lewis that his basic Christian beliefs, magnificently communicated in his many books, were now called into serious doubt. Relive the journey of C. S. Lewis during the days prior to and after the cancer-related death of his wife Joy in this film that captures both heart and mind. You will be able to see his commitment to Christ despite severe trials. He picked up the pieces and moved out of the depressing "shadowlands," realizing that "real life has not even begun yet."

Running: 02 Nov 2009 - 14 Nov 2009 Start: 19:30 by William Nicholson Directed by Yvette Huddleston & Walter Swan Wharfeside Theatre Actress Rachel Conyers who plays Joy Gresham gives us her insight into the play amongst some of the scenes from a recent rehearsal. Set in Oxford, in the 1950s, Shadowlands is a witty, erudite and moving play about the unlikely but true romance between reserved British academic, author and theologian C.S Lewis and outspoken, divorced American poet Joy Gresham. When they met, Lewis - an Oxford don in his fifties living quietly and contentedly with his brother, Warnie - could not have anticipated how their lives would become entwined. Their marriage of convinience, undertaken to avoid Gresham's deportation, soon grew into a much more profound and signi...
