    About this audiobook

    One rainy day, years ago, a little girl named Lucy discovered that the back of a wardrobe isn't always just the back of a wardrobe. Sometimes, it's a door into another world. In Lucy's case, that other world was called Narnia, and though she was among the first to enter it, she was by no means the last. Millions of children (young and old) have followed her there and met its strange but wonderful inhabitants--Mr. Tumnus, Reepicheep, and Puddleglum, among others. But the lessons of Narnia don't just belong to the world of fiction and fantasy. We may never meet fawns, talking mice, or marshwiggles in our ordinary lives, but the lessons they teach in The Chronicles of Narnia are the very lessons we need to fight the battles we face in our everyday lives. Douglas Wilson begins this series of meditations on C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia with the observation, "This is not intended to be an introduction to Narnia at all, but is rather more like a conversation between good friends about some other good friends, talking about what a good time we all had and why." Wilson highlights the practical themes of mature, Christian living that emerge from these classic tales--nobility, confession, complete grace--a joyful contrast to the thinness of modern life. A must for any Narnia fan, young or old.

      I'm a big fan of Doug Wilson. I like pretty much anything he writes. It helps when the material is about Chronicles of Narnia.

      I have realized a lot of things while listening to this. One of the most remarkable lessons I can remember is knowing about true beauty. By knowing it, it will reflect in us naturally. Without any effort. I also love the part where at some point we have to be outside of our bubble and see the world as it is. Not how we want it to be. I'm sure I have learned more but for now, that's all I can share. Hope to listen to more Douglas Wilson's work.
