Review Quotes:
"The Chronicles of Transformation and Michael Ward's Planet Narnia are the two books that stand head and shoulders above all the many other books about Lewis' masterpiece. Both surprise us with unexpected insights and dimensions. And the seven authors of this book do it seven times! Other books about Narnia see and say the obvious, like boats that skim the surface of Lewis' seven seas. But this one is a diving suit that takes the reader down into the depths."
-- Peter Kreeft, Author, The Philosophy of Tolkien
"Reading TheChronicles of Transformation was like opening a treasure chest. These essays about Lewis' beloved Narnia series so richly blend literary analysis, external writings, and spiritual insights that I soon found myself jotting notes in the margins. I am eager to examine all the beautiful gems that I found and to read the series again!"

"Sometimes, as G. K. Chesterton reminds us, we need to stand on our heads in order to see things afresh. This thought-provoking series of essays allows us to do just that. It allows us to enter Narnia through new pathways, coming at Lewis' imaginary world from surprising angles, so that we can see it once again with eyes wide open with wonder."
