Sing With Your Whole Heart

‘Tis the season for celebration and music. Several of us were able to attend a community concert that our good friend Holly was singing in. She has a beautiful voice, but in a choir of 275 to 300 people, individual voices weren’t often singled out. Holly did participate in an ensemble, and the sweetness of her singing brought tears to my eyes. The magnificence of all those combined voices plus…

The Abolition of Man in The Magician's Nephew

The Abolition of Man in The Magician’s Nephew

In The Abolition of Man,[1] Lewis lays out his definition of the magician’s bargain for power which reduces man to material bit by bit. Lewis’s character in The Magician’s Nephew[2] loses himself for power which reducing him bit by bit. Lewis lays out the idea of “time pockets” to understand history of cultures in The Problem of Pain.[3] Lewis creates a narrative version of this metaphor in the…

Belief (John 14:1-6)

The following is an unedited sermon manuscript; for an explanation of my sermon manuscripts, click here. *Originally preached July 31st, 2022* Digory was scared. It had been months since his mother was able to get out of bed, months since she had been able to sleep without medication, and months since he had seen her smile. Her illness was daily filling her with more pain, slowly stripping away…

The creation myth... #Narniathon #MagiciansNephew

The creation myth… #Narniathon #MagiciansNephew

Well, we’re up to book 6 of the Narniathon, and I’m quite pleased with myself for sticking to this particular event. Of course, it does help that the books are quite short, but it’s been such an enjoyable experience! Anyway, this month’s episode in C.S. Lewis‘s Narnian adventures, “The Magician’s Nephew” contains what you might call the creation myth of that land, and it was always one of my…

The Beloved Child

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, Bloomsbury Publishing 2020

I am the Beloved Child of the House …

How else to describe this novel than as labyrinthine? Not only is it set in a physical maze-like structure but its narrator must, like Theseus, thread a path through confusing and sometimes conflicting revelations about who he is, what he’s doing there, and why his memory seems to be faulty.

He is named…

‘New’ ‘Narnia’ novel - maybe, maybe not

‘New’ ‘Narnia’ novel – maybe, maybe not

The Guardian reported yesterday:

Francis Spufford pens unauthorised Narnia novel

I don’t know any of this chap’s work, so I’ll have to go along with their ‘award-winning adult literature’ part (I think the ‘adult’ refers to that he doesn’t (usually) write books for children and not that he writes ‘too shelf’ stuff).

My favourite and the cover version I had

I read all the Narniabooks as a child…

10 Enchanting Facts Of Adventure About The Chronicles Of Narnia

10 Enchanting Facts Of Adventure About The Chronicles Of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia have sold over 100 million copies in 47 different languages, and it’s truly one of the greatest masterpieces of children’s literature of the twentieth century. Who wouldn’t want to enter a magical world through a portal in an empty room as an escape from the boring world we live in? I wish I could imagine a world as grandiose as Narnia when I was a kid. We’re so grounded…

In the beginning

The ruins of Charn (Pauline Baynes)

The Magician’s Nephew by C S Lewis, illustrated by Pauline Baynes. Fontana Lions 1980 (1955)

In this, the penultimate Narnian chronicle to be published, C S Lewis describes how Narnia came to be. The Magician’s Nephewis set around 1900, the heyday of Sherlock Holmes and Edith Nesbit’s Bastable family adventures, in a suburban London street perhaps similar to…

C. S. LEWIS DAILY: MAY 16 thought of his Mother, and he thought of the great hopes he had had, and how they were all dying away, and a lump came into his throat and tears in his eyes, and he blurted out: “But please, please—won’t you—can’t you give me something that will cure Mother?” Up till then he had been looking at the Lion’s great feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face.

Netflix to develop a TV series and movies based on The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy novel series by C.S. Lewis

Netflix to develop a TV series and movies based on The Chronicles of Narnia fantasy novel series by C.S. Lewis

I got hooked on the Chronicles of Narnia world back when I was 9, and we were read a chapter from a book each afternoon at junior school (as it was called back then), just before home-time. The teacher, a man though I can’t remember his name, read us (amongst others) The Silver Chaireach afternoon. I was sold! Bought and read the lot, lost them, bought them again, lost them when I left home…but I…
