Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reflections on VotDT (which is either the 3rd or 5th book in the series depending on which order you choose to follow, both accepted by Lewis) - it takes the scenario of Britain’s era of colonialism and exploration and turns it into an outward journey of the inward heart. The further out they go the more the characters are humbled by the dangers they face, until they really reach the edge of the world, the end of a quest, to begin their next one.

I love how Eustace’s changed character continues in The Silver Chair, and I’ve always been sad once I finish reading The Last Battle. There is so much below the iceberg in Narnia, and I’m always left wishing it were all real. And thankfully in a heavenly sense it is.

Very interesting Euge, glad to read your thoughts again! What would possible responses be to someone who does entrust their fullness in life to Christ, and is also disappointed/dissatisfied in how their church & Christian life is going? (The people who aren't part of that "most people" at church).
