Before I opened the book, I wondered how the compilers could come up with 365 selections centered around Aslan; I didn’t think Aslan was featured that many times in the Chronicles. Well, as it turns out, he wasn’t.

Despite the book’s title, a number of the selections don’t feature Aslan at all, but instead highlight general stories from Lewis’ series. This isn’t necessarily a downside, just something to be aware of before purchasing a copy.

I recommend to Aslan-lovers who have already read through the original Chronicles, but would hold off for those who haven’t already visited Narnia. Since some of the selections lack context, it would be helpful to understand the background for each character and story before reading.

 With hundreds of study bibles available today, why do we need another one? And what good is a study Bible whose commentary is filtered through a single person or theme? I’ve long been leery about these types of study bibles. Whether it be the or the , the or , you can find a study bible centered around many religious celebrities and themes.
