Carrie's Favorites, Part 2 of 2 Giveaways

Ok, who is it that I've named both of my boys after?

Who's best known series do I host a challenge for on what is now a yearly basis?

Who is the theologian that I most adore?

Clive Staples Lewis, of course! (And just to put your minds at ease, neither of the boys bear the name of Clive or Stapes.)

I love the Chronicles of Narnia. Very much so. I think they are ingenious and I love slipping away to Narnia whenever the opportunity presents itself.

I frequently think of Aslan and my heart swells and sometimes I even cry. Oh yes, I do! Thanks to Uncle Christopher, we have an Aslan figurine that we can play with. Whenever I hand over Aslan to Bookworm1 I say with a solemn voice, "Now remember....he is not a tame lion." Bookworm1 always gets this look of awe on his face, sometimes trepidation and he stares at the little Aslan in my hand very intently. Then I say, "But! He is GOOD!" and with smiles on our faces we laugh. It's a little thing between us, on its face. However, I'm intentionally communicating with my son about who GOD is when I hand over this little Aslan. God is not tame. He does not operate the way we tell Him to. He isn't to be bought or bribed and He's not obedient to our whims. He is a GOOD God, ever faithful to the end. I love (very much love) my interchange with Bookworm1 on this. You cannot even fathom the way my heart leapt when Bookworm1 handed Aslan to me once and said, "He is a not a tame lion, Mommy. But! He is good!" Yes! Yes! Yes! Remember that, my son. Remember that!

Because I love The Chronicles of Narnia for the truth which it communicates, I have a The Chronicles of Narnia Complete Radio Theatre Set to giveaway to one of you. That's right folks - all 19 CDs of the Focus on the Family radio series can be yours. I recently bought a copy for us, not knowing how Bookworm1 would take to it. He sat, captivated, in front of the CD player. We listened to the entire store of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe together. (I'm not really an audio listener/learner, but I listened along with my son to explain it to him.) Fabulously well done story and I imagine the rest are like them (although we haven't listened to them yet). We'll make good use of this CD series and I invite one of you to also make good use out of your own set!

Would you like to win this? Then leave a comment below. U.S. Residents only, please (sorry, folks).

Further Up and Further In!

THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

I wish I had multiple copies to pass along. Really, I do. I plugged in Random.org and it selected SKY as the winner. So, Sky, I'll just be popping you an e-mail really soon here. =) Congratulations! I know your family will love it.
