About the Book
Have you ever wondered what God thinks about The Lord of the Rings? Now you can find out.
Imagine this: you’re settled in for an epic movie marathon of the extended editions, popcorn in hand. Suddenly, God himself horns his way onto your couch, puts his feet on your coffee table, and starts providing a running commentary. That’s exactly what happens in Watching The Lord of the Rings With God, a hilarious, refreshingly honest, and profoundly insightful journey through Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth. Author Charity Bishop invites you to listen in on her snarky, challenging, and surprisingly touching conversations with the Almighty as they watch the entire trilogy, scene by scene. Forget dry theological analysis; this is a movie night where no question is off-limits and divine wisdom arrives with a side of smug humor.
This isn’t just about finding Christian allegories—it’s about discovering how God can use our favorite stories to teach us, challenge us, and draw us closer to Him. Through witty banter and sharp spiritual insight, you’ll explore the biblical parallels in Aragorn’s journey, the unwavering faithfulness of Samwise, Boromir’s tragic struggle with sin, and Gandalf’s stunning representation of sacrifice and resurrection. Each chapter of the book corresponds to a chapter on the extended edition DVDs, making it the perfect companion for your next viewing. You’ll be pointed toward scripture, forced to confront uncomfortable truths, and encouraged to see your own life’s journey in the perilous trek from the Shire to Mount Doom.
Prepare to have your faith deepened and your love for Middle-earth transformed. Whether you’re a die-hard Tolkien fan, a devoted Christian, or both, this book will make you laugh, think, and see the battle for good and evil in a brilliant new light. After this, you’ll never look at a wizard, a hobbit, or the power of the Ring the same way again. So grab your remote, press play, and join the most epic movie night of all time.
