Heather gave me the C.S. Lewis collection called The Chronicles of Narnia for Christmas. The version I have is audio drama created by Focus on the Family Radio Theater. With H off work now, she rides with me frequently and we listen to the stories of Narnia painted in words so masterfully by Clive Staples Lewis. Three hours of driving flies by, as we become absorbed in the stories. The Chronicles have such amazing depth, and realizing the parallels to the Bible, the power of the story-telling makes one appreciate the Biblical references that much more, references written into the stories brilliantly. This isn't like listening to an audio book, though. It is actually a group of over 100 talented voice actors who bring the stories to life with many sound effects and an orchestra. All that is left is for the imagination to paint the visual images and to let your mind, and your heart soar. I will have to encourage other family members to check it out, too. Heather knows me all too well and I love this gift. Any gift that encourages this soon-to-be Mom and Dad to share quality time together is close to priceless.
If you want to check out the Chronicles of Narnia, here it is. Thanks H. http://www.family.org/resources/itempg.cfm?itemid=3631#inside
