Aslan of the Chronicles

Aslan of the Chronicles
I’ve been a long time admirer of C.S Lewis and the adaptation of his “Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is a good attempt by Hollywood to put good stories on display. My hope is that Hollywood won’t take too much artistic liberty in changing the story. Michael Flaherty, the president of Walden Media, co-producer with Disney of the film tries to assure us of this the integrity of the film in keeping to the original storyline. Disney also worked with Lewis stepson, Douglas Gresham, who was a producer on the film.
C.S. Lewis once said we don’t need more Christian books; we need more great books by Christians. The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the great books. In it, Lewis talks about faith and God using simple symbolisms.
In the book, when asked if Aslan is Safe, the response is candid. Aslan is not safe but He is good.
That’s exactly the way God is. God is not safe but He is good. He never promised to keep us away from the trials of loving Him. Loving Him is risky because we will have to embrace His Will which may take us to the wilderness.
I do hope the film turns as good as the book.
