Product Description

J.R.R. Tolkien transformed his love for arcane linguistic studies into a fantastic world of Middle Earth people that readers the world over have learned from and loved for generations. Devin Brown focuses on the story behind how Tolkien became one of the best-known writers in the history of literature, a tale as fascinating and as inspiring as any of the fictional ones he would go on to write. Weaving in the major aspects of the author s life, career, and faith, Brown shares how Tolkien s beloved works came to be written. With a third follow-up film (December 2014) and the book s release the same month, there s a large interest in the faith values for these works. This book addresses that deep hunger to know what fuels the world and worldview of the Hobbit s infamous author Tolkien."
