With a simple hobbit in a simple hobbit-hole, J. R. R. Tolkien opened the window on a whole new world that has captured the imaginations of millions. But The Hobbit-now a major motion picture-is far more than goblin attacks, dragon-hoards, and riddles in the dark. It's a journey that changes a simple hobbit named Bilbo-and us-along the way.In Finding God in The Hobbit, Jim Ware, coauthor of the popular Finding God series, unlocks the mysteries of Middle-earth, sharing insightful reflections on scenes and characters from Tolkien's classic. And as you travel through Middle-earth, you'll start to discover some ways in which God is still very much at work in our world-and how he has a bigger purpose for you than you can ever imagine.

But then you’ve been known to hobnob with dwarves before this,” cautioned a voice from the other side of his brain—a voice suspiciously reminiscent of his grandfather, the scandalous Old Took. “In fact, you’ve acquired something of a reputation for associating with outlandish folk of all sorts. It’s rumored you’ve even been seen with elves.”
    “That’s beside the point,” protested the practical Baggins part of him. “It was thoughtless of Gandalf. Not that I want to appear inhospitable. But an uninvited crowd at tea-time is quite enough to push any hobbit beyond his limits!”
