I loved the Lord of the Rings since I first read it (when I was 10). I also love the Chronicles of Narnia, though I like the LOTR more. C.S. Lewis is a writer that I like a lot, and I like Tolkien's writings. Tolkien, I believe, was a Catholic, though his wife was Protestant. To me, it doesn't matter too much which as long you are "born again" (alothough I do disagree with a lot in Catholicism). WHen you see the term, "born again", you can't help butu wonder what some of the people here mean. I believe that it means that you have accepted Jesus as your Saviour and repented. Is that what the other people here mean? Yes, there are 7 books in teh Chronicles of Narnia.
