The Lord of the Rings offers us essential lessons in living. Here we discover ordinary virtues like generosity, pity, hospitality, and rest. We meet extraordinary people like Bilbo, Gandalf, Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel. We learn about the roots of destruction in pride and betrayal. And we find the ingredients for success, such as community and sacrifice. Each of us -- even the most simple -- is called to a journey. We may be asked to leave behind everything we have grown dependent on. And when this is the case, the tale of Frodo and his friends offers hope that we will be given the strength and the help we need to overcome every obstacle and defeat every foe. This book will help you find the way. - Back cover.
