Advent in Narnia: Reflections for the Season

By Heidi Haverkamp

"Walking into Advent can be like walking through the wardrobe."

With its enchanting themes of snow and cold, light and darkness, meals and gifts, temptation and sin, forgiveness and hope—and even an appearance by Father Christmas—C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe fits naturally into the Advent season. As the reader seeks a storied king and anticipates the glorious coming of Christmas, these twenty-eight devotions alternate between Scripture and passages from the novel to prompt meditation on Advent themes. Each devotion also includes questions for reflection. The book also provides several resources for churches, including four sessions for small group discussion and ideas for creating a "Narnia Night" for families. Readers will ultimately come to know God better while journeying through Narnia.

Reviews for Advent in Narnia

[revslick_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

If you are a Lion Witch and Wardrobe fan then you’ve got plenty of time to pick up this Advent devotional. Heidi’s devotional is set up to read the book at the same time. There were certain points I wanted more of Lewis’ quotes or even passage sections within the devotional; however, Heidi was wise enough to let the reader know the skirt of the copyright law on this one; it goes quite long. The devotions are short, scripturally pertinent, applicable, and filled with brief insights into the mind of Lewis and Narnia.Recommended: Advent devotional; Narnia fans**This was a review copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
