A gentle snow falls on a cluster of evergreen trees, while a streetlight gives off a warm glow. This isn’t the scene of a bustling small town celebrating Christmas. Rather, it’s the first glimpse Lucy Pevensie has of Narnia, where it is, according to Tumnus the Faun, “Always winter and never Christmas.”
In C.S. Lewis’ classic series The Chronicles of Narnia, Christmas does eventually arrive and with it Aslan, who brings with him new life—both literally and figurative—to the land. Here in our world, parents and children often read the books, watch the movies, or simply reflect on the stories this time of year.
With The Chronicles of Narnia, followers of Christ can find encouragement from the subjects of Aslan. Specifically, here are seven discipleship lessons from Lewis’ fantasy world, one from each book (in publication order as that is the only proper reading order). Read More

Why You Should Read Narnia in Publication Order
Definitely read The Chronicles of Narnia in the order that they were published, starting with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I first read them in that order and have read them that way ever since. I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe shortly after it was published. I read the other books as they were published. I have read and reread The Chronicles of Narnia over and over again since that time. Project Gutenberg Canada has all seven books in the series. Click on this link and scroll down to Lewis, C.S. [Clive Staples]. Start with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you read them any other way, you will lose the magic!!
