Download or read book Take Me to Aslan written by Stephen D. McConnell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many children and adults alike have enjoyed C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. The series of seven fantasy novels draws on Christian themes and Greco-Roman mythology to create a world like no other. Yet author Stephen D. McConnell reveals that the books' Christian message is more complex than using supernatural stand-ins for religious virtues. He argues that the books' sprirtuality can be most strongly found in the journey itself, as the children struggle to trust their various spiritual guides as they traverse the fantastical land of Narnia ... Ultimately, McConnell's goal is to show how Lewis sought to portray that the way we come to know God is largely through the people we trust to point us to him. By reading this guide, others who go on to read the Chronicles or watch the film versions will experience the spiritual fiction in a whole new way"--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Women and C S Lewis written by Carolyn Curtis and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexism in Narnia? Or Screwtape? Or amongst the Inklings? Many critics have labelled C.S. Lewis a sexist, even a misogynist. Did the life and writing of the hugely popular author and professor betray attitudes that today are unacceptable, even deplorable? The younger Lewis was criticized for a mysterious living arrangement with a woman, but his later marriage to an American poet, Joy Davidman, became a celebrated love story. As a writer he, along with J.R.R. Tolkien, formed a legendary literary group, the Inklings - but without women. In this collection of short essays, opinion pieces, and interviews, academics and writers come together to investigate these accusations. They include Alister McGrath, Randy Alcorn, Monika Hilder, Don W. King, Kathy Keller, Colin Duriez, Crystal Hurd, Jeanette Sears, David C. Downing, Malcolm Guite, and Holly Ordway. The resulting work, Women and C.S. Lewis, provides broad and satisfying answers.

"We are mirrors whose brightness is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us." "I didn't go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don't recommend Christianity."
