A Family Guide To Narnia: Biblical Truths in C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia

This is a very well put together book. The author has done families a very great service in the formation of this helpful guidebook. Many may be aware that C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia are a Biblical allegory, however just how deep the symbolism goes may be lost on the casual reader. This book uncovers the elements for readers in a bite sized format that aids in kid-friendly study. Each section to each Narnian tale is explained, connected to the Christian Bible, and then followed by a thoughtful “parallels and principles” section that follows a study question format.This good book is also not too long. It’s just thorough and long enough without trying to find what isn’t in the source text it explores. The author has allowed the source material to speak for itself and that’s appreciated for a guidebook that’s premise is to connect Narnia to the Christian Bible. This book belongs in the Christian’s library (behind the Chronicles of Narnia of course)

I got this after loving the guide to The Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe. In response to another review, read the chapter in the book before reading the chapter that corresponds, in the guide. The biblical truths and parallels are so enriching in my study time with my kids! We love this! I got the entire collection. In response to another review, read the chapter in the book before reading the corresponding chapter in the guide. I think you’ll find that way there are no “spoilers.”

I'm just getting started with this. This is not something to do as a "quick read"! In order to get the full depth, it must be done very deliberately, & a little at a time in order to digest the amazing beauty that this Guide illuminates of Lewis' Narnia series. I highly recommend reading this "Guide" together with each Narnia book to obtain the awesome riches hidden there.I never recall reading this incredible series, so my method will to be to read one book (in order), then read & study the accompanying Truth as expounded by Ditchfield. He has a brief, but DEEP study of each book, chapter by chapter. In that way I will work my way through this amazing challenge to learn so much more of the countless gems hidden in God's Word, & as presented in the unique way of CS Lewis, along with the "Study Guide" presented by Chrisin Ditchfield.A must-have for any serious student of God's Word!

This book is an easy-to-read guide connecting the Chronicles of Narnia with relevant scripture. This guide goes through each of the seven books, chapter by chapter, addressing key points in the chapter and connecting those points multiple passages in the Bible. This is a great resource if you want a deeper spiritual understanding of Narnia.

I am really enjoying this study! My small group of six women at church is currently reading the entire Chronicles of Narnia and using this study guide with it. There is a short one or two page study for each chapter of each Narnia book. Each chapter study includes Biblical parallels and principles from that chapter, which is inspiring, also a question, and Scripture look up. C. S. Lewis was a genius! As Wayne Martindale, professor of English at Wheaton College states in the forward of the book, “Jesus had Lewis’s heart, and Lewis’s head was filled with Biblical knowledge.”Note: This would also be an excellent study for a family to do together as they read through the Chronicles of Narnia.

This is a companion to the set of the Chronicles of Narnia which will give you a deeper appreciation for the stories.

good book

This is such a wonderful accompaniment to The Chronicles of Narnia. I just finished reading it aloud for the first time and can’t wait for my child to be old enough to incorporate it in his education.
