Believing in Narnia:
A Kid's Guide to Unlocking the Secret Symbols of Faith in C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia

by Natalie Nichols Gillespie



      Believing in Narnia: A Kid's Guide to Unlocking the Secret Symbols of Faith in C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia explores the seven beloved novels that make up the Narnia series, namely: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle—each one of which offers the reader a memorable reading experience they will forever cherish.

C.S. Lewis is a name that I remember from my early childhood years.  I remember reading each one of these books and felt they radiated their own special blend of magic.  I feel that his books are some of my fondest childhood memories.  When I grew to be an adult, I was pleased that movie producers had turned my beloved C.S. Lewis books into blockbuster movies.

Through Natalie Gillespie’s Believing in Narnia: A Kid's Guide to Unlocking the Secret Symbols of Faith in C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, I now am able to revisit Narnia in search of the symbols that help connect the series to the Christian faith.  I felt so connected to this book because it allowed me to revisit some of my favorite childhood books and to look at them with new eyes to discover the hidden Christian symbols that I never knew existed.

This book would make an excellent reference tool for Sunday school teachers and as a way to introduce C.S. Lewis’ wonderful work.  By using it as a guidebook, you will help strengthen the Christian faith by relating it to a series that is assured to be around for future generations to enjoy.  Very highly recommended.
