The Silver Chair

I see a message in this book where I didn't before. The idea that living apart from God is like being enchanted and convinced that the poorer copies of the real things are the only things. This enchantment robs us of our joy and hope while enslaving us to the desires of the enemy of God. 

At the same time, believing and following doesn't mean one has to have some ignorant enlightenment. Puddleglum, like the other Jeremiah, shows us we can love God and be faithful followers while not being happy, shiny people.
