Prince Caspain - Week 3
This week week at Christian Book Club we will be reading chapters 9 - 12. I hope you have been enjoying the book as much as I have. This week I think you will really enjoy the encounter between Lucy and Aslan. The whole discourse is wonderful. I really like what Aslan says on page 149,
“To know what would have happened child?” said Aslan. “No. Nobody is ever told that.” “Oh dear,” said Lucy. “But anyone can find out what will happen”, said Aslan.
That is so great. The only way to find out what will happen is to do it.
I also like what happens at the end of page 157,
And so at last they got on the move. Lucy went first, biting her lip and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan.
When we fix our eyes on Jesus we are able to live life the way He intended us to live it. Not all caught up in our usual pettiness. If you are reading Prince Caspian with us I want to encourage you to enter your own comments. I would like to read about some of your favorite parts of the book.
You should make arrangements to get a copy of the book for May. The book is called “Your God is Too Safe”. If you don’t have a copy, you can order one at the Christian Book Club Books page.

I really enjoyed these chapters. I liked how Edmund kept choosing to follow Lucy when she said she saw Aslan, even though no one else would believe her, because he’s learned from his mistake last time.
I also liked how Aslan talked to Susan on page 162. “You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you. Forget them. Are you brave again?” Sometimes, we all need a little breath from heaven!

I enjoy your insight. Edmund is a great demonstration of someone who has grasped the concept of repentance. You are right about the breath of heaven. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.
