The Book Nook: The Lord of the Rings Part 4

In this Book Nook mini series we dive into the great fantasy series by J.R.R. Tolkien. We are tackling it book by book so each episode will cover half a paperback volume. Journey with us through one of the greatest works of Christian imagination in a century that is all the more relevant today. Part Three covers the second half of The Two Towers. We rejoin Frodo and Sam as they join forces with their slinking pursuer Gollum. Tolkien draws some revealing parallels in this section. What do we learn about true service from the contrast between Sam and Gollum? What can we discover about true leadership from the contrast between Boromir and Faramir? What role can true Christian friendship play in overcoming evil? Join the journey with us!
