I wrote Advent in Narnia after being inspired by the most successful Advent program I’ve ever offered at St. Benedict, based on C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I couldn’t find a book connecting Advent with that book’s related themes: light and darkness, meals and gifts, temptation and sin, forgiveness and hope, and even an appearance by Father Christmas.

I thought I’d try to provide that resource for individuals and churches myself. I’ve written for adults and teens, with a theological thoughtfulness which I hope goes deeper than many devotional texts I’ve come across.

The book includes:

– 28 daily devotions, which alternate between the novel’s characters, themes, and images and the Scripture passages that seem to underly them.

– 2-3 reflection questions at the end of each devotion

– outlines for four adult discussion sessions

– a family program called “Narnia Night”

– movie recommendations

– ideas for crafts

– and “An Easy Recipe for Mrs. Beaver’s Sticky Marmalade Roll”!
