A Friend To Skeptics Erik Johnson

C. S. Lewis gives readers of the Chronicles of Narnia a ripping yarn of adventure, magic, talking animals, and winsome children. Its status as a classic of fantasy fiction is well deserved. The seven volumes also provide readers with tips on critical thinking. This is a sorely needed skill in our day of conspiracy theories, disdain for reality, derangement syndromes, woo, and superstition. Former pastor and retired conflict mediator, Erik Johnson collects quotes, anecdotes, and dialog from these fairytales which validate a skeptical worldview. Edmund Pevensie is correct when he says, "Things aren't always what they seem." Reading the Chronicles though agnostic eyes opens new possibilities for regaining rationality in a frequently irrational world.
