Book Description
"Many children and adults alike have enjoyed C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. The series of seven fantasy novels draws on Christian themes and Greco-Roman mythology to create a world like no other. Yet author Stephen D. McConnell reveals that the books' Christian message is more complex than using supernatural stand-ins for religious virtues. He argues that the books' sprirtuality can be most strongly found in the journey itself, as the children struggle to trust their various spiritual guides as they traverse the fantastical land of Narnia ... Ultimately, McConnell's goal is to show how Lewis sought to portray that the way we come to know God is largely through the people we trust to point us to him. By reading this guide, others who go on to read the Chronicles or watch the film versions will experience the spiritual fiction in a whole new way"--Page 4 of cover.

No More Dragons
Author: Jim Burgen
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 1400205638
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process. You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren't who you used to be. You aren't who you want to be. You're not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you're a dragon. When Jim Burgen was nineteen years old, he realized how easy it had been to become a dragon. He knew he didn't want to be one anymore . . . but how? No More Dragons is the story of our common, hopeful journey from dragonhood back to personhood. As Pastor Burgen narrates the remarkable process of reclaiming himself from himself, he implores modern church goers to shake off the trivialities of churchiness in favor of the substantive questions that make a spiritual transformation: “Is Jesus the only one who can undragon people?” “Why don't I like most churches?” “Where is God in difficult times?” “How do you shed decades of gnarly scales?” Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.
