About this ebook
How can we keep faith alive in our skeptical culture?
A dark and unbelieving age has come upon the land of Narnia. It is several hundred years after the events of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and memories of Aslan the Lion God have been lost. Narnians are living in an age of practical thinking and zero tolerance of supernatural beliefs. Does this sound familiar?
Author Tom Williams contends that our world is going the way of Narnia, and, in this booklet, he invites the reader to go with him and discover something more. Follow Prince Caspian, Lewis's child heroes, and their small band of believers as they fight to restore Aslan to his rightful throne. Join them as they find valiant faith, brotherhood, and pure joy in the living religion of their ancestors.

A new way of looking at the world prevails in Narnia. The Telmarines hate wild, natural things, so they are destroying forests and ruining rivers to build their civilization. They have ushered in a new, enlightened
