I’M FINISHED READING THE SEVEN (7) BOOKS!!!
I can hardly believe how much I enjoyed reading C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia!”
I finished book 7, “The Last Battle” today during my lunch break. At the finish, I wanted to stand and tell everyone at Subway how much I enjoyed these books and how badly they needed to read them. I chose NOT to do such a thing and went outside.
Let me be honest about something here.
Reading these books “changed” something inside of me. Yep. They helped me with my own imagination and my own thought-processes and my own wonderment of just how big God is.
For instance, when you think of Heaven, have you ever wondered how FAR Heaven goes? I mean does it go to a wall somewhere, are we going to be kept in a certain area, or could I, in fact, walk for eternity and NEVER see the same thing twice? Yah, my brain hurts after thinking that, too…
Also – these books, as I’ve said, have given me a new imagination and child-like weirdness, too.
I was on the softball field one night after reading book 1, I think, when I saw a dragonfly hovering close to me. After reading about Narnia and the wonders C.S. Lewis imagined, I actually spoke to the dragonfly and said, “Come here.”
It flew away.
On another night, I actually TRIED to dream about Narnia. Seriously – I layed in bed after finishing one of the books and thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be great to actually have a dream about Narnia, and have my own adventures there – all inside a dream?!” I think I slept that night with no dreams.
All that to say that these books are a timeless treasure that I will enjoy reading again and again! If you haven’t already read the series, they’re on sale @ Amazon for $28.77 with free shipping!
