This book has 365 stories from the chronicles without any specific order. Though it ends with the same words the chronicles ended. I waa expecting a story about Aslan when I bought it, but it is not the case. It's nice to read if you want to remember the book or pieces of it, but I couldn't enjoy it as much as I had rwad this series many yeara ago and in another language, which made ut even more difficult to connect to the book. The first few books I remembered better thanks to the movies and some parts of the last, but generally I don't think it's worth it, unless for remembering the books. Which, well, if one wants to remember a book, they can re-read it.

Well indeed...I took a year to read this. One reflection per day. I don't think just reading the daily offering took me deep enough, so I am going to "read" it again in 2016, but journal along with each entry. While some of the entries were strong, others were a little off, or their selection seemed just downright baffling. There was no real rhyme or reason to which books in the series were represented at which time, except towards the end, The Last Battle, perhaps predictably, was featured heavily. This did make me want to reread the series, a childhood favorite, there are obviously some parts I have forgotten. It will be interesting to read the series as an adult, I think I have resisted because I fear that they will lose some of their power and magic.

I did enjoy reading a snippet from Narnia daily, but the way each day flowed was a bit nonsensical for me. I wanted to be able to use this for family discussion, but it didn’t lend itself to that as I thought it would.

I did enjoy this, but I think mainly because I am so familiar with The Chronicles of Narnia. I was a little disappointed by the lack of, well, reflection. It's more a passage from one of the books followed by a couple of questions. I also was bothered by the lack of any kind of system for the excerpts. It really feels absolutely random. Sometimes there will be a string of excerpts from the same book (often to follow through a scene, so that makes sense), but then it will just hop around from book to book with no rhyme or reason. I'm a little too OCD for that to sit right.
