Media Reviews
This readable book is excellent for parents who wish to have a deep quality of communication with their children. It will also be very useful for librarians, primary school teachers, and those in churches who have responsibilities with children. The author has a firm grasp of the books of Tolkien and Lewis, and reminds us to savour and treasure the work of two great storytellers who were masters of incarnating Christian meaning in powerful and enduring symbols. --Colin Duriez, author of The C. S. Lewis Encyclopedia, Tolkien and Lewis: The Story of a Friendship, Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings, A Field Guide to Narnia, and The C. S. Lewis Chronicles.
William Chad Newsom has accomplished some very important work with this book. Many modern Christian parents do not grasp the importance of story to their children's spiritual and moral health. But not just any story will do. Using the stories of two of the twentieth century's most gifted and important story-tellers, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Newsom provides very shrewd and practical help to parents who want to grow in their love of story, along with their children. --Doug Wilson, New St Andrews College, Moscow, Idaho
