Lewis and appreciate his imagination and his desire to help people see the love of Christ through excellent and engaging literature. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t highlight anything while reading this book and have no notes to post below. \u00a0I simply read the story for what it is and enjoyed watching the way that Aslan (the character representing Christ) came in to right what was wrong. \u00a0The faithfulness of God and redemption are clear themes in this story. \u00a0I&#8217;m grateful for the chance to experience the truth of God&#8217;s word woven creatively into an engaging children&#8217;s story that I can share with my kids!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSafe?\u201d said Mr. Beaver; \u201cdon\u2019t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you?
