In Narnia‚ the children grow up in what appears to be a sheltered world. The four children in the real world are isolated and away from the reality‚ which is a world of war and devastation.

This eye-opening book really observes grief down to its darkest moment. Something that we rarely get the chance to peak into in

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies‚ let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker” (C.S. Lewis). We need heroes to stand out and help when needed or called to action.

This book has been phenomenal! I loved when they‚ John and Stasi Eldredge‚ started talking about a woman’s heart. They said that "Above all else‚ guard your heart‚ for it is the wellspring of life" 1 and how ’our hearts are the core of who we are.

In the grand scheme of humanity‚ much of its existence has been spent pondering just how much control a God could even have in a world that has given so much trouble and torment to the inhabitants of a tumultuous planet. Humans have been without a doubt the most dominant species to exist on the planet‚ establishing domain over every facet of life that has come across our paths. It is almost this very reasoning that has left humanity wondering about this higher being called God‚ chiefly because

“The heart is deceitful above all things”. The White Witch confirmed that quote without a doubt. Although she was a fictional character‚ along with everyone else in the book she did commit atrocious acts the still happen today.
