This was a brilliantly beautiful book that was in depth and yet accessible. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of Tolkien and LOTR. 📚 amzn.to/41dgdXg

Aslan to Lucy: “But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.” So good!

Tolkien on the death of things in Arda: “Is it not the loss of the things that was, and the love of its former shape, now dissolving, that makes the process of this dissolution painful, or sometimes horrible?”

Tolkien on the main thrust of LOTR: “I would say, if saying such things did not spoil what it tries to make explicit, ‘by ordained individuals, inspired and guided by an Emissary to ends beyond their individual education and enlargement’.” - Letter 281

“Don't the great tales never end?" "No, they never end as tales," said Frodo. "But the people in them come, and go when their part's ended. Our part will end later – or sooner.” - LOTR

Finally finishing this series by Andrew Peterson — I have read nearly 400 pages today because I could not put it down (and because my kids kept telling me to finish so we can talk about it)! What an epic take of beauty, adventure and meaning. Just 40 pages left!

Sheesh. Been MIA on here and basically life since coming down with the flu. Took me out for the last 10 days. Still not back to normal. It's these kinds of experiences that make you grateful for everyday health! Hope you all are well friends.

One of my favorite things to do when I visit a new city is find a bookstore and see what Tolkien books they have. Hello New York. Hello Tolkien.

This clip blew my mind as I heard @malcolmguite.bsky.social unpack it. #Tolkien really did write prophetic literature. Give it a watch and let me know what you think...

“Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.” - Tolkien (forward to LOTR)
