About this listen
Each of us, even the most simple, is called to a journey. We may be asked to leave behind everything we have grown dependent on. And when this is the case, the tale of Frodo and his friends offers hope that we will be given the strength and the help we need to overcome every obstacle and defeat every foe. This book is meant to help you find the way.

Insightful and helpful
A really well written and loving book, with a wonderful narrator perfectly chosen to read lines of some famous characters within. I enjoyed the honesty and effort that the author put into not only delighting in an excellent story, but into drawing lessons from Tolkein's work.

Essential companion to LOTR
This is a wonderful book, clear and concise, a must for every fan of Tolkien’s masterpiece. Mark Eddie Smith explains and illuminates the key virtues that facilitate and ultimately accomplish the seemingly impossible mission of destroying the one ring.

Lets talk about Jesus
The discussion of the ordinary virtues presented on the LOTR quickly displays it's true nature, Christian proselytization. On occasion religious or philosophical quotation is perfectly appropriate. When it is A comparative with the Christian Bible, say so up front. When I am being sold a bill of goods, I resent it, no matter how good those goods are.
