By itself, The Hobbit is a classic that both entertains and subtlety teaches lessons. Bilbo learns more than he intended to through his journey, and readers get to understand those lessons through the story. Ed Strauss has taken that a step further by connecting them to biblical truths.

Using points from The Hobbit, Strauss turns them into devotionals that apply them to daily life. No longer something just read about in a book, you can see how the lessons and experiences that Bilbo saw fit into what you may go through. Each entry is well written and easy to understand. The biblical aspect is simply and clearly communicated, which makes this a good fit for many ages.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
