Okay, so yesterday I finally decided to read the Chronicles of Narnia.The Magicians Nephew being the first of those books was the first I read. I must say, no description of mine will do it justice!
Before reading this book I had heard such great things about it, most people say it isn't their favorite of his work, but I absolutely loved it, it gives such a wonderful view of God and his love for us. you will not find an allegory such as his.
Apart from his prominent ability to write, and suck you into his fantastic world, his perception of Christ is the best part! He shows you just how He truly is, strong, full of authority, compassionate, loving, powerful, beautiful and everything good!
Once I finished the book I was eager to go onto the next one, The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe but being that it was really late at night I had to stop reading.
In reading this first book it has added to the excitement that I have for going to heaven.
Is that really the first time you've read them?! I read them all in second and third grade and then came back and re-read almost all of them later.
ReplyDeleteYes. C.S Lewis has some powerful allegories. Have you ever read The Space Trilogy? Even more complex theology and beliefs.
I read them starting with the LWW, Then PC, then HHB, then The Silver Chair, then MN and then The Last Battle. I prefer this way but many people read it the other way. This is the order he wrote them in and it's kind of neat because after you read LWW you get to read MN and find out about the lantern and everything.
