It's hard for me to put into words just how much Lewis, and the Chronicles in particular, have meant to me over the years. The single biggest influence on my walk with God, besides the Bible, has been Lewis' writings, and it all began with CoN. No other books have ever touched me the way CoN do...I think it is impossible to read them and not love Aslan and Narnia with all of your heart.
I also wanted to throw in my two cents of encouragement that the love of Aslan is truly the love of Christ for each of us. I know it is sometimes hard to see, especially for those who have had bad experiences with churches, but He is the Great Lion and my dearest joy is to know that someday I'll really get to kneel down before Him and maybe even bury my face in His beautiful, golden mane.
