The Gospel According to Harry Potter by Connie Neal

In a book that is sure to delight Harry Potter fans and spiritual seekers alike, Connie Neal embarks on an exploration into J.K. Rowling's created world of magic and mystery and enumerates more than fity "Potteran" themes that can be seen as glimmers of the Christian gospel. With an arsenal of charming allusions and parallels, Neal persuasively demonstrates that Harry Potter need not be rejected as a threat to the Christian faith, as some have claimed. Written accessibly in short three- to four-page chapters, Neal's The Gospel According to Harry Potter is both a much-needed stroke of interpretive genius and a fascinating reflection on our time's most popular literary series. This is a must-read for everyone intrigued by the Harry Potter phenomenon.
Connie Neal has written extensively on the Harry Potter debate for Today's Christian Woman and the 700 Club's Web site. She has authored numerous books, has coauthored titles with Bill McCartney of Promise Keepers and Stephen Arterburn of New Life Clinics, and has contributed to many Bible projects. Connie is a veteran church staff youth pastor and popular speaker who has toured with Women of Faith. She and her husband, Patrick, are the parents of three school-age children.
