 The Heart of NarniaWisdom, Virtue, and Life Lessons from the Classic Chronicles By Robert Velarde Though it falls into the category of fantasy, The Chronicles of Narnia series of books and now movies—Prince Caspian, the second Narnia Chronicles feature-length film, is due in theaters next month—have a lot to say about “real world” ethics and morality. C. S. Lewis believed that our everyday actions, however small or great, lead us closer to virtue or to vice, closer to God or further from Him. This book offers a fascinating look at the Golden Rules of Narnia and at key lessons taught about good and evil throughout the series. Order Online: The Heart of Narnia |
