The Anthropos series is a set that I grew up reading when I was younger. My mom somehow stumbled upon the books and I think initially read some of them to me, or maybe I read them on my own - I can't quite remember. It reminds me in a lot of ways of the Chronicles of Narnia but in a slightly different way. I loved this series. ( )

The temptation is to refer to the whole Archives of Anthropos series as being Narnia clones. After all, it's all territory which has been traveled before, isn't it? Children go to another world, have adventures, and meet the local incarnation of God. But Anthropos does have a flavor of its own, and bits of this book in particular speak to me. I've been in "guilt cages" often in my life. I've been tempted to look into the forbidden tower, even if I haven't climbed it. And like John, I know how it is to have trouble believing that God has the strength to follow up on His promises even when the evidence is in front of my eyes.
