Episode 57: Prince Caspian Reading Vlog — Reading the Chronicles of Narnia From a Christian Perspective
I’ve been reading through the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and looking at the similarities between it and the Bible. C.S. Lewis made no secret of his faith and we can see how it shaped his stories, whether consciously or unconsciously. In this video I look at Prince Caspian and compare it to stories in 1 & 2 Samuel. Have you seen any other biblical principles in the this book? Let me know in the comments.

Episode 53: The Horse and His Boy Reading Vlog —Reading the Chronicles of Narnia From a Christian Perspective
I kept a reading vlog whilst I reread The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis. This is a children’s classic book and a personal favourite of mine.

The video contains spoilers for the story so I highly recommend you read the book first. Have you read The Horse and His Boy? Did you spot any spiritual truths in the story?
