Free subscribers can still read the weekly columns and any reviews until they move behind the paywall after a month. Additionally, as part of the Narnia read-along free subscribers can see brief summaries of the sections and a significant quote from the chapter.
Inspiration: Despite spending much of his adult life as a childless bachelor, C.S. Lewis had great respect for children in person and in his writing. He believed fantasy stories for children provided something for them and even adult readers that could not be gained from more “true life” stories.
Application: Often in Narnia, Aslan is on the move even when you can’t see it. As he finishes his tale, Trumpkin may not have seen the hand of the great Lion but that doesn’t mean it was there. We know that even in our most difficult moments, God is with us and working things out for our good and His glory.
Chapter 7 quote: “‘But we want to be here, don’t we,’ said Lucy, ‘if Aslan wants us?’”
