To Narnia and Beyond releases this month: on August 22, 2026!

This guide invites readers into the major fantasy works of four writers of great fantasy: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, and Madeleine L’Engle. Each of these authors was open about their Christian faith and how it influenced their stories, and To Narnia and Beyond presents the spiritual themes and historical background of some of their most thought-provoking novels.

Thank you to everyone who has previewed this book! To Narnia and Beyond has had more early readers than any of my other books, and I’ve gotten so much insight and encouragement from my advance readers!

As a show of my gratitude, I’ve decided to offer each of my early readers some special ‘bonuses’: including a To Narnia and Beyond themed notebook and bookmark, and a few Book-Bat themed goodies!

Want to learn more about the book and support its release?

One: Listen to the podcast!

Our May 21st episode, episode 57 of the Book-Bat podcast, featured a sneak peek at the book, with me reading aloud the Introduction and Chapter One! Once you’ve listened, be sure to share it with others whom you think would enjoy the book!

Two: Preorder the book!

Preordering will be available August 17th through the publisher, Siretona! Online preorders tell the publisher that people are interested in the book.

We will share the preorder link once it is made available.

Three: Like and share online posts!

I’ll be posting on FaceBook during the week of the release, August 17-22. Comment, like and share so more people can learn about the release!

We are down to the last few weeks before the launch!

Again, thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey! The adventure doesn’t end with the release, though: I hope I will get to have more conversations about these authors as people engage with To Narnia and Beyond!
