Sometimes You Just Have to Follow the Muse

Planning the story is good. Leaving some room for a little serendipity is better.

Readers of Tom and the Dragon will probably remember that the book was largely unplanned, at least in the beginning. It started as a fun story I was telling my son Peter. But after a while I set it aside because I didn’t really know where the plot was going. Many years later, I did, and I was able to finish TATD and s Read more of this blog post »

A classic story with a great concept (the children returning to Narnia much later). Although this book has its tension and charms, it is slow-moving until the final chapters.

Nonstop action, lots of well-researched descriptions of place that felt a little like filler, the obligatory (and farfetched) romance, jumped the shark at least twice, a couple of disturbing scenes of human depravity (and an unsatisfying moral to the ...more

Quotes by Stan Guthrie (?)

“The freedom graciously granted to God’s people is an invitation not to license but to a life of significance, holiness, beauty, and service.”

“We cannot dichotomize our life obligations into “religious” and “personal” realms. God requires congruence to his character in both.”

Stan’s Quotes

“Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
