Publisher's Summary: In Finding God in the Land of Narnia, best-selling authors Kurt Bruner and Jim Ware explore the deep spiritual themes of redemption and grace found in the popular Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. With amazing clarity that captures the tone and style of C. S. Lewis himself, the authors offer a depth of insight that will surprise even the most ardent Lewis fan. Each chapter will help listeners gain not only a deeper understanding of the popular Lewis series but a deeper understanding of God himself.

Members Reviews: Beautiful and Ensightful C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia are the most beautiful fantasy books ever written. Despite the fact that some people regard Lewis as "preachy," his beautiful imagery and adherence to Truth make him one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Some people might have difficulty unraveling the spiritual truths from the fantastic elements of the Narnia stories. If this truth applies to you, then "Finding God in the Land of Narnia" will prove to be a marvelous asset. I was immediately drawn into this easy-to-follow and rich examination of the Narnia classics. The authors' language is entertaining and fun. Instead of lengthy dissertations, the authors have addressed different symbols in short chapters. The chapters read like daily devotionals, making this book an excellent tool for a study of the seven books in conjunction with a Bible study. Scripture is used extensively to corroborate certain points. My favorite chapters are as follows:

  1. "Aslan's Song": With an indescribably beautiful melody, the Great Lion sang the Land of Narnia into existence. Our creativity mirrors the first Creator.
  2. "Turkish Delight": The sweetness and allure of the White Witch's treats brought Edmund Pevensie into her web of deceit. The lovely round box, swathed in green silk ribbons, waits enticingly for us all as sins caressing sweetness calls to us. Will we succumb and eventually sicken as a result of our gluttony?
  3. "The Coming of Father Christmas": In the frozen, death-grip of Jadis' icy winter rule, Christmas breaks forth to weaken her power. Like the day nearly 2000 years ago when Hope was born during the rule of tyranny to dispell the Curse.
  4. "Strange Revelry": The joyous celebration of the return of joy in a land ravaged by war and fear. We all should be joyous people who express our gratitude for being free.
  5. "A Change of Clothes": Only Aslan can remove the cumbersome dragon hide that has imprisoned Eustace Scrubb for so long. We all must submit to the One who can rip away our evil deeds, an often painful process, but one that is necessary if we are to be transformed. These are just a sampling of the marvelous insights in this fantastic book. Please give the book a chance. God bless you all.

Finding God in the land of Narnia Yes, it explained the comparisons within the Christian faith. Good vs evil, unconditional love vs a hardened heart.
