Prince Caspian: Chapter 11 “The Lion Roars”

Inspiration: Trumpkin’s reluctant conversion mirrors C.S. Lewis’ own hesitant embrace of Christianity. But as he came to Christ, all of Lewis was changed, including his perspective on pagan mythology.

Application: When Christ calls us to follow Him, we can’t allow what others think to deter us. Like Lucy kept watching Aslan, we must keep our eyes on Jesus and trust that He is leading us where we need to go.

Quote: “‘And so at last they got on the move. Lucy went first, biting her lip, and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan.’”
