i am encouraged to read this book on recommendation of Vishal Mangalwadi who says: "Tolkien gives a beautiful fictional exposition of the Augustinian perspective on the relationship of music, creation, the FALL(evil) and redemption. Tolkiens "earth" was to be captured, corrupted and virtually controlled by evil........Yet the Bible has taught Tolkien that the Almighty Creator, who was also a compassionate redeemer, was loving enough and powerful enough to redeem the earth from the greatest possible mess" This is not just another book. I will read this with a view on good versus evil, knowing that sin is a part of this world since the Fall, and our only salvation is through the redeeming grace of our lord Jesus Christ. Although a difficult book to understand our lives and this world are moving through Revelations, when finally Jesus will triumphantly return, and all those who believe on Him will be made New and live in a New World, where there will be no more evil.

My 10 years old daughter asked for the book as a Christmas gift after watching the Lord of the Rings. It is a great book! And very good cost.
