Years later, he became a Christian and reflects on how deeply the book shaped his faith journey. The 75th anniversary of this classic reminds us how C.S. Lewis uniquely shares biblical truth through imaginative storytelling.
Lewis created an entire mythos with the Narnia series, using the adventures of children in a magical world to illustrate hope, sacrifice, and redemption.
