On the Shoulders of Hobbits: The Road to Virtue with Tolkien and Lewis
"The mistake that Uncle Andrew made was not because he believed that  wealth could be brought back from Narnia. His mistake was in refusing to bring back  the right kind of wealth -- it is wisdom we need, not more steel and battleships.  Louis Markos has remedied that problem, importing a great of wisdom from Narnia,  and Middle Earth as well, with plenty to spare. I am happy to recommendOn the  Shoulders of Hobbits." Douglas Wilson, author ofWhat I Learned  in Narnia "Thoughtful, helpful, insightful,On the Shoulders  of Hobbitsreminds us just how much is to be gained by standing on the shoulders  of Tolkien and Lewis, those Christian literary giants."Michael Ward, Oxford  Centre for Christian Apologetics and co-editor ofThe Cambridge Companion to  C.S. Lewis "A book that richly celebrates the place of story in  our lives-even as it invites us to walk the road with, and glean life lessons from,  some of J.R.R. Tolkien's finest characters."Kevin Belmonte, editor ofA  Year with G.K. Chesterton,and lead historical consultant for the film,Amazing  Grace. "Louis Markos' thoughtful exploration of virtue through the  writings of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis is a valuable resource for parents, teachers,  and young people seeking models and guides for living a life shaped by, and infused  with, the richness of Christian virtues."Holly Ordway, Houston Baptist University  and author ofNot God's Type
