Abstract

This archive contains the materials related to the book "And God Came In" by Lyle W. Dorsett (New York:MacMillan and Co. 1983.), republished as "A Love Observed" (Wheaton, IL: Harold Shaw Publishers. 1998). Dr. Dorsett donated his materials from the research and writing of the book to the Wade Center in 1990. The book is a biography of Joy Davidman Lewis. Joy was married twice, first to Bill Gresham, an American writer and magazine editor with whom she had two sons (Douglas and David Gresham), and then to C.S. Lewis. She was an accomplished writer in her own right and a member of the communist party in the 1930's prior to her conversion to Christianity. She died July 1960 in Oxford, England.
