The Lion, the Mouse and the Dawn Treader

The Lion, the Mouse, and the Dawn Treader: Spiritual Lessons from C.S. Lewis's NarniaEver wanted a spiritual take on C.S. Lewis' The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, then The Lion, the Mouse and the Dawn Treader is for you!  In this book Carl McColman takes an deeper look at the spiritual implications found in each chapter of the Dawn Treader.  Thankfully McColman does a great job summing up the plot line as I have not read Lewis' book in a few years.  I thought this book was very well written and easy to understand.  I also felt that there was a cliff notes kind of feel to this book in that each chapter was summed up and then the spiritual lessons were expounded upon.  This format helped to further the message of the book especially since there were a few spiritual lessons that I was unfamiliar with, namely those with a mystic point of view.  All in all I learned quite a bit from this short book and would easily recommend it to those wanting a deeper look at The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.


Thanks to the Speak Easy network for a copy of this book to review.
