Journey Into Narnia

Chronicles of Narnia is a set of books that adults readers want to reflect on, to figure out what it all means. Lindskoog knows these books at many levels---the concrete and story-line connections across stories, how the connections were put there by the authors who did not write the books in chronological order, and the connections between story elements and philosophical and religious themes. All adult readers of the Chronicles should also read this book. Teachers who want to include any of the Narnian books in their classrooms will really benefit from the insights and the instructional aids provided by Lindskoog.

This book is fabulous! It explains all of the sybolic and religous meaning in the books and has a lot of interesting facts about Lewis and Narnia. It also includes the ages of the children in each book and has the recipies for the foods in the books, like Turkish Delight and alot of other stuff. This is a great book for anyone who has ever read the Chronicles. I highly reccomend it.

This book and all the Narnia books are excellent books andshould be shared by everyone.Narnia seemed so real, and yet so faroff.They were the greatest books and I think I'm going to read them over 10 times(kidding).

These books are just plain amazing and in a way, spiritual as well. They are full of humour, as well as they are totally realistic, all the sweet kiddy stuff. THey are excellent and Narnia is a world where animals and other things of the imagination are no longer imaginary, but actually exist. It provides readers with a sense of hope and a sense of the impossible becoming the possible. It is a wonderful world of kings and queens. It is a reflection of the world as it is now and indirectly reflects the accomplishments and the destruction of the human race. I recommend these books for all - both kids and adults. Go buy it now!!

Lindskoog's "Journey" is proving a useful tool for teaching the "Chronicles of Narnia" to middle school age students.The "Chronicles" form the backbone of our Sunday School curriculum. Ms. Lindskoog provides excellent background. Her personal knowledge of both the "Chronicles" and Lewis would take years to duplicate, if it could be done at all.She has provided questions and quizes to stimulate discussion.Those who have read Lewis' "Chronicles" understand that these children's stories have the depth to interest adults. Ms. Lindskoogs guidance also serves well for an adult discussion of these stories.There is perhaps some relutance to use a work of fiction to teach biblical truths. Ms. Lindskoog is clear in describing Lewis' theology and his literary sources. She deals directly with the question of what to do when I child confuses Aslan with Jesus.
