\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you love C.S.Lewis, T.S.Eliot, J.R.R.Tolkien and all that gang, pick up Thomas Howard\u2019s latest book. It\u2019s a collection of essays and talks that he has given over the years.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
In his witty, inimitable style, Howard takes you into the imagination of Lewis and Tolkien. He shows you what they thought, why they thought it, and why they almost singlehandedly kept alive the Christian imagination in a world going quickly down the drain of nihilism.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span> <\/div>\n
It\u2019s one of my best reads in a long, long time. Don\u2019t miss it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
