Watching The Lord of the Rings With God (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Have you ever wondered why "The Lord of the Rings" so resonates with your soul? It's not a coincidence that a tale of good and evil, heroism and sacrifice, friendship and love touches you as intensely as it does. J.R.R. Tolkien didn't set out to write an allegory, but his faith is woven into his characters and the situations they encounter. Director Peter Jackson set out with no agenda other than to transcribe some of these wonders to the big screen. Little did he know what truths translated from the page to the screen.

Maybe some of the symbolism you're already familiar with. Gandalf as a Christ figure, for example. But what else can you learn from these tales?

"Watching 'The Lord of the Rings' With God" will open your eyes to the symbolism, allegorical aspects, and subtle wonders of Middle-earth in a way you never expected... as you watch the franchise with God at your side.

Autorenporträt

Charity Bishop is funny, quirky, analytical, a little sentimental, and occasionally forgetful, with an offbeat sense of humor, a tendency to like sci-fi, and a storehouse of knowledge about "useless trivia." She gets fixated on learning things, and obsesses over them until she knows everything there is to know about them, then looks for something new to learn. She gets bored with "same-ness," but is good at impartiality and seeing both sides in an argument. In fact, she's likely to argue both sides for the sheer fun of it.

She grew up in the church and was saved at a young age, but re-evaluated and re-dedicated her life to Christ three years ago. Since then, God has encouraged her to trust Him with her life and future which sometimes is an uphill battle for a stubborn girl. As she struggles with understanding His ways along with her characters, He gently reveals the answers. He's her co-author, both in the stories she tells and in her very own story.

Her day job is a magazine editor, and her hobbies (other than writing books) include over-analyzing everything she comes into contact with, vigorously defending various incarnations of Sherlock Holmes against perceived injustices, irritating her friends with theological musings, and MBTI typing fictional characters.
