Book Reviews of Following Aslan: A Book of Devotions for Children
Book Review: The Heart of Narnia
Summary: 5 Stars
''Supposing that by casting all these things into an imaginary world, stripping them of their stained-glass and Sunday school associations, one could make them for the first time appear in their real potency?''
--C.S. Lewis
The heart of Narnia is its creator, the great lion, Aslan. Aslan, according to Lewis, is not allegorically Christ, but Christ in another form for another world. The heart and soul of Narnia is in its Christian roots; Aslan, is son of the Emperor across the sea. He wanders in and out of Narnian history, to give himself in sacrifice as Christ did, to right wrongs thousands of years old, liberating hostages and bringing life to the land, and to guide earthling adventurers in their quests. In these adventures, their main goal is to grow closer to him, though, as Lucy and Edmund are told, they must eventually come to know him by another name in our world.
Kenneth McIntosh helps children do just that in this wonderful book of devotions. He makes it easy to grasp onto those things about Aslan and Narnia that illustrate biblical truths, and illuminates them for young and old alike. Following Aslan is a great companion piece for those who wish to see just how deeply rooted Narnia is in the Christian worldview of its author, C.S. Lewis.
Watching Prince Caspian (the second in the Narnia film series) today, I was struck by the power of one simple line. When an older sibling asks why they hadn't seen Aslan, the youngest, Lucy, says, "Perhaps it's because you weren't looking." Perhaps that was it, indeed.
Look for Aslan in this warm, enlightening book. And then, once you've found Him, take Him to heart. You won't regret it.
