Dear friends, family, and fellow LOTR-junkies: Greetings from Narnia and the North! Yep, November brings the second annual northern Michigan C.S. Lewis Festival to my hometown of Petoskey, where it is almost winter and eventually Christmas. I encourage you to check the festival website ( ►www.cslewisfestival.org) and join us for some of the exciting events if you can.In particular, yours truly will be co-leading the opening lecture on "Why Lewis?" at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey on Thursday, November 4 from 7-8:30 p.m. with friend and colleague Suzanne Rosenthal Shumway. To our surprise, we were featured in the Oct. 29 "Our Spirit" section of the ►Detroit Free Press, which picked up on the intriguing prospect of an evangelical Christian and a practicing Jew debating and discussing Lewis’s worldview during such a politically tense time. Meanwhile, my second book, Walking with Bilbo: A Devotional Adventure through The Hobbit, is now up on Amazon.com—though it’s not scheduled for release until February. According to my publisher, preorder sales have been GREAT! We’ll put an order page on my website soon for signed editions. In the world of Jane Austen, we’ve learned of a new film of ►Pride and Prejudice coming out in theaters sometime in 2005 starring teen queen Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean and Bend it Like Beckham) as Elizabeth Bennet . So the writing and production of my third book, Dating Mr. Darcy, is now on a crash schedule for release in June instead of August next year. Yikes! But we’re excited.And finally, my husband Tom made an announcement in our church this past Sunday (► www.petoskeyumc.org) that he has begun the steps to ordination in the United Methodist Church—which means that we’ll be moving from northern Michigan sometime next summer to attend seminary for three years. His first choice is Duke Divinity School in Durham, NC; we should know in December. Please keep us in your prayers during this next big adventure!Blessings, P.S. Note from Webmaster (a.k.a Sarah Arthur's Husband): The website now boasts a PayPal shopping cart to help facilitate the sale of multiple items. Let me know if you notice any glitches. ►tom@saraharthur.com. "We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!
