As a huge fan of allthings Narnia, I am so grateful for this deeper aspect of the truths inC.S. Lewis' stories. Geoff Waugh did a great job in crafting such a book as this. What a wonderful addition to any collection, and aninspiration to know Jesus more deeply.</span></span></span><span><span><span> </span>Belinda S.

This is a great companion when you read, and is a stand-aloneteaching on the depths of meaning that C.S. Lewis weaves into Aslan'scharacter. Definitely worth your time. <span></span></span></span><i><span><span></span></span></i><span>Steve Loopstra (USA)</span><br /><br />* Great study that gives a deeper understanding of Christianity.Would make a great home group Bible study. Lyn (Manilla, Australia)<br /><br />* I like it. I especially like the simplicity of expression. These days,with surface thoughts the order of the day, to be guided to look for depth of thought is an invaluable prompt to search for satisfying meaning. Lilian (Sydney, Australia)<br /><br />* Geoff Waugh explores fascinating layers of meaning in C. S. Lewis's children's classic. Aslan, the triumphant lion, is revealed as a reflection of Jesus. The book includes devotional meditations using Bible references. (Amazon Customer)<br /><br />* As a child I fell in love with the classic children's book 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' by C.S. Lewis. It is good that it seems just as popular today. Yet many people miss the deeper referencesLewis constantly alludes to in the plot of this book. This is where the book by Geoff Waugh proves to be an invaluable companion. He shows how at nearly every step the hidden story Lewis was alluding to takes shape. If you are not familiar with the Christian background details you will be endlessly fascinated.

  bound ropes round his ankles and his knees and his waist and his chest and
  left him there. What worried him worst at the moment - for it is often little
  things that are hardest to stand - was that his lip was bleeding where they
  had hit him and he couldn't wipe the little trickle of blood away although it
  tickled him.  
    
  From where he was he could still see the little stable on the top of the hill
  and the Ape sitting in front of it. He could just hear the Ape's voice still
  going on and, every now and then, some answer from the crowd, but he could n
