Product Description
J.R.R. Tolkien transformed his love for arcane linguistic studies into a fantastic world of Middle Earth, a world of filled with characters that readers the world over have loved and learned from 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 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 celebrated author, Tolkien.

After part three of The Hobbit movie franchise was released in December 2014, Devin Brown’s book, Tolkien, became a must-read for all fans. Weaving in the major aspects of the author’s life, career, and faith, Brown shares how Tolkien’s beloved works came to be written and readers will find the “father of fantasy fiction” lived a life as fascinating and inspiring as any of his books. Unlike typical biographies that provide mere accounts of a subject’s life, this book focuses on Tolkien’s amazing accomplishments and addresses the intense significance so many people have placed on the faith values of his work. An examination of Tolkien’s religious beliefs and the way his faith influenced his fiction makes this a unique study for church groups as well as book clubs and school studies.
