My Joy is a “book

My Joy is a “book worm”. She loves books. One of the books that she recently bought is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It caught my interest because a play (or musical?) is on-going at the Shangri-la.

I know it’s a children’s fairy tale book! :) But C.S. Lewis, one of the best Christian authors of our time, who wrote the seven-volume “Chronicles of Narnia” in which this volume is the most popular in the series, wrote it in a way the even adults will surely enjoy.

This weekend, I had a priveledge of reading the entire book. It was awesome! The best thing is that it was written as an alegory of the gospel in the form of children fairy tale. Well, the gospel is so simple that even a 5 year old kid can understand. Try it out! Sure you’ll have fun. Oh but, I don’t want to spoil the fun, but as you read, think of Edmund as yourself and Aslan the Lion as Jesus, will yah? :)
