It is an entirely normal human reaction that when we see a truth and become excited by it we feel the desire to tell others. This Something has illuminated our life, shown us a level or texture we haven’t before seen. Our joy bubbles over and we want to express it like Lucy when she... Continue Reading →
Tale: The King and the Chaos
(A new feature for my Blog; here is a sample of my fiction that I produce from time to time. It's not related to Narnia in any way, but it does take on eternal themes, in my humblish opinion.) The King and the Chaos It had been many years since the last king was crowned.... Continue Reading →
In Which We Remember the Cold Grasp of the White Witch
In the chapter “What Lucy Found There” we find out that Narnia is, in some ways, not as different from our world as we would like to believe. The White Witch is there, a cruel tyrant who considers herself to be the Empress of all things in the absence of the True King. She has... Continue Reading →

Why is it “triumphal” instead of “triumphant” (On Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem)
I’m not much of a Bible scholar. I can tell you John 3:16 by heart, I’m pretty sure the Lord’s Prayer is in Matthew, and that Romans chapter 8 is important. But every now and then I’m reading my Bible and all of the sudden something will jump out at me and I’ll say, “Wait... Continue Reading →
Addendum: Our Portion
One of the main goals of this project is to help all of us believers see what we truly have in Jesus. We want to believe in an enchanted world like Narnia, when we have one truly at hand. His Spirit enchants every moment of our life making it far more magical that we might... Continue Reading →
In Which We Are Old Enough For Fairy Tales Again
I’m one chapter into LWW (Lion, Witch, Wardrobe) and I already have so much to write about; so much that is True. What I didn’t expect is that even the dedication to Lucy Barfield would yield fruit. There is an almost throw-away line in the dedication that prompts a wistful smile from most of us... Continue Reading →
Seeking Fire-Flower Cordial
No, we are not to that part of the book yet. We've only just begun, after all. It is my desire to reassure you, dear reader, that I have not abandoned this project. I have been convalescing from a long-expected surgery. During the pre-surgery and recovery I did at times feel like there was no... Continue Reading →
Addendum: Why we shut God out even when we want Him so…
Welcome to a new feature here at Finding Narnia...the Addendum. The name will probably change because I'm not happy with it at the moment but it's the best I can find right now. The Addendum is a place where I drop things related to the subjects I want to promote here but has no immediate... Continue Reading →
In Which We Remember We All Started As Lucy
I’ve been at pains to figure out how to shape what Finding Narnia will be. I’ve never attempted a project such as this before. How does one begin? Topically? Chronologically? The easiest first step to take is to go through the books and write what thoughts naturally come up. Now, there is great debate over... Continue Reading →
