The soul of the lion, the witch, & the wardrobe

When C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe more than half a century ago, few truly recognized the profound nature of this simple children's allegory. And for many, the riches of Narnia have remained a mystery-until now.After decades as a perennial bestselling novel, a favorite among children and adults alike, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has achieved international blockbuster status with the release of a major motion picture by the same name. With this film, a new generation seeks answers to the same questions of generations gone by: How did the Witch overpower Narnia? Why did the Lion have to die? Why couldn't young Edmund resist temptation? What does this all mean?The mysteries and meanings of this story are revealed in The Soul of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by Dr. Gene Veith, premier Christian scholar and culture expert. Veith guides you through Narnia, a strange and enchanting world that may be more like our own than we ever imagined.The Soul of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe provides real answers to the soul-stirring questions that every "Son of Adam and Daughter of Eve" cannot help but ask-questions that reveal our inmost thoughts, our spiritual peril, our deepest longings, and ultimately, our greatest need.
