The author of Walking with Frodotakes readers on an adventure of faith with this devotional that relates themes from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbitto living the Christian life. Unlike the fateful quest Frodo was asked to carry out, Bilbo's journey came as an unexpected adventure. Readers will be reminded that God chooses us to be unlikely heroes in the adventure of life.
