I am currently enjoying A Family Guide to the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by Christin Ditchfield and published by Crossway Books. So of course I have to blog on it, like I do most books I read, because I like to pass such things on in case there are other voracious readers among blog frequenters. I always enjoy seeing what other girls are reading--most of my favorite books were ones recommended by others.
Anyway, if you are an avid Narnia fan or have young siblings or children who enjoy these stories, this little book is a good resource. It looks to be geared for children, but I learned a few new things even after being a Narnia reader all my life. Each chapter in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is examined for Biblical parallels and principles. Other Scripture verses for study and interesting facts are also presented. There is even a recipe for Turkish Delight and other activities! The parallels to Scriptural principles are simply presented so anyone can understand. I appreciated all of the Scripture included--this book was obviously well-researched. And it even has illustrations to keep the younger ones peeking over your shoulder as you read.
Definitely a keeper.
