A worldview adventure for readers young and old alike about a boy named Josiah who learns important lessons from some unlikely visitors. Get ready to meet Gilbert, a talking owl, who is joined again by three of his friends in this the second book of "The Owlings" series, to explain some of the greatest truths in all the world — that the world doesn't exist by or for itself.
The new Owlings book is a simple story to help younger readers, older ones as well, to begin to grasp the power of the Christian view of the world. While the book hits on many moral themes like poverty, contentment, bullying, charity, sympathy, generosity, and the like, its main goal is to demonstrate the limits of science.
C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of Narnia, said it well, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” Like Lewis, DeWitt believes that Christianity best explains not only the natural world, but also the human experience.
Lewis serves as inspiration for these stories in more ways than one. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien famously met to discuss their stories with a small group of friends that became known as “The Inklings.” Two other British authors are often associated with this group in terms of similar interests and influence: Dorothy Sayers and G.K. Chesterton. These four serve as the inspiration for the owls: Clive, Gilbert, Dorothy, and Reuel.
The Owlings: Book Two also includes a short afterword for parents and a discussion guide.

I enjoy his weekly “Weekend Worldview Reader” email) By Benjamin Vrbicek In the evenings, after dinner and before bedtime, a few nights a week I read to my family. Last year we read three of the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Our family, however, needed a break from Lewis. And last fall, when a friend of mine shared on Twitter that one of his friends just released the second book in his series of children’s books—books the author called “worldview novellas”—I was intrigued. So I bought both books, and last week our family finished them.The books are The Owlings, Book I and Book II by D.A. DeWitt. DeWitt is the dean of Boyce College (the undergraduate school of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). At Boyce, he teaches courses on worldview, philosophy, apologetics, and C. S. Lewis. He has written several books, most recently, Christ or Chaos (Crossway, 2016). He also blogs regularly at Theolatte.com. (I’d encourage you to check him out; I enjoy his weekly “Weekend Worldview Reader” email).In Book I, we meet a boy named Josiah who has lost his father. He and his mother live on a farm. My children giggled each time Josiah’s mother calls her son, “Sugar booger,” which she did frequently. Josiah and his friend and neighbor, Addi—with the help of four talking owls—work through the prospect of moving, a significant challenge for a young boy. In Book II, more characters are added, including Matt and Megan, and a bully named Cody. (After all, what would a childhood be like without a bully?!)Each book engages a different aspect of an atheistic worldview. In Book I, the issue is naturalism. Josiah has a substitute teacher named Sam (after notable atheist Sam Harris), who teaches the class that “Nature is all that there was, is, and ever will be”—an allusion to Carl Sagan’s famous quote. Through a family struggle, Josiah meets four talking owls who help him learn that there is more to our world than nature; preeminently, there’s a Creator who cares deeply about his creation.In Book II, the issue is—what might be called—scientism. In this view, science is not so much “helper of man,” but rather a god. This story takes place during a field trip to a local museum. It’s here that the museum’s director, Dr. Russell (who is named after famous atheist Bertrand Russell), repeatedly seeks to teach the students that “What science cannot teach us, we cannot know.” Again, with the help of the owls, Josiah learns the limits of scientism, even as he seeks to solve the case of who stole his lunchbox.DeWitt plans to write five books in the series. I’m sure our family will be reading each as they are released.

Lewis once wrote: “A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.” I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I jumped at the chance to read this wonderful addition to "The Owlings" series by DeWitt.Readers who are new to the series can certainly pick up this book since DeWitt has thoughtfully written this story so that it can stand on its own. But readers of the first book will be pleased to see Josiah and Addi return with a new story, new characters, and new lessons to learn about the world around them. Of course, one thing isn't new--the timely appearance of our colorful and heroic owls: Clive, Gilbert, Dorothy, and Reuel.Although my daughter is still too young to read this book, that didn't stop me from ordering a copy. I loved it so much that I read it in one sitting. And when my daughter is old enough, I'll happily read it again with her.

By Musings of a homemaker Great resource for teaching worldview to younger readers. I am looking forward to using this as a good resource for children ministry. The Author has a great way of bringing Biblical worldview down to a level that young readers can understand and process.
