Book Review :
''Not A Tame Lion' offers a compelling and accessible pathway into the rich theological underpinnings of C.S. Lewis's beloved 'Chronicles of Narnia.' By examining the series through the evolving perspectives of characters like the ever-faithful Lucy and the responsible Peter, the book illuminates how Lewis wove Christian allegory into his fantasy world. The central focus is, rightly, on Aslan—the majestic, powerful, and untamable lion who serves as the Christ figure. The commentary explores themes of sacrifice, redemption, grace, and the nature of faith as experienced by the children in Narnia. It is an excellent resource for book clubs, Christian study groups, or any reader who has felt there was 'more than just a story' to Narnia and wishes to understand its spiritual depth. The writing is engaging and avoids being overly academic, making it suitable for both young adults and older fans of the series.''
