Tirian, I have been filling in Thankful Calendars for decades now, utilizing extra calendars and writing what I am thankful for from the day before in the corresponding boxes. This practice has been healing and freeing, and I heartily recommend it to all who would like to cultivate a spirit of...

Welcome to the Nfans forum, aoteifa! That certainly is exactly what Saul of Tarsus believed before he encountered the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus (he had been planning to arrest some Christ followers and persecute them for their faith). That dramatic encounter in Acts 9 was a...

The Tumnus whistle was a MacDonalds happy meal prize. I have seen some for sale on Ebay just this evening, searching for "MacDonalds happy meal" and "Narnia." The bookend was a gift and came with a special edition DVD of the 2005 The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I love the story of Joseph in the last part of Genesis -- It is so powerful and moving, especially the forgiveness scenes.

Thank you Copperfox for reviving the Praying Around the World thread! (I will rejoin you on that thread soon!) blessings, Bénisse

Yes! I have long wondered what would happen to that poor jeweler whose store Jadis trashed and looted. Hopefully Mr. Holmes would be able to help him as well to recover some pieces that she (possibly) scattered or dropped while rampaging through London.

Thank you so much for sharing this creative production!

When Kathy Keller was a young teenager she wrote a letter to C.S. Lewis about her admiration for his Narnia tales… and he wrote her back— beginning a precious series of letters. Here is a link to a fascinating podcast (<< click here, not the photo) about their correspondence and how the works...

Great picks, all! My favorites in the past were whichever ones were featuring my children in the casts ;) , but other than those runs, my favorite is Quilters (creative staging, great storytelling, and a score that is at turns haunting, toe-tapping, lyrical). My favorite opera is Puccini's...

Any folks here who have read the Wingfeather saga series? Any thoughts? For me, I had a hard time getting into it because all the new terms and creatures were distracting me from processing the story. However I persevered (especially after seeing the animated version...

Although I loved the Gail Carson Levine's book Ella Enchanted, I really was turned off by its campy, disastrous translation to film :(

Son of Adam, blessings to you and yours on your birthday...

I love your idea for this thread, Jasmine Tarkheena! My name is based on the French verb for "bless." I feel blessed in so many ways, and want to alllow God to work in + through my life to bless others.

Love your reflections Sunshine Rose! I also am reminded of the private scene towards the end of The Last Battle in which Aslan has his one-on-one with Puzzle the donkey... and poor dear Puzzle's response, although we do not know what Aslan said then either.

And I think it would be cool to film Charn itself in black and white with the sad dying sun in a muted color ... and Digory, Polly and the images could also be in color.

Love this discussion! Thank you Jasmine for getting us thinking. I would love to see more of the freeing of Beruna, and to have the healing of Caspian's nurse ... although seeing a classroom of rowdy boys turned into pigs and their teacher abandoning them would be deeply disturbing.

Thank you Copperfox! That was clear, thoughtful and hopeful. SPOILER ALERT! If you have not read Last Battle yet hold off on watching this video!
