As we near the end of International Book Month, today’s episode takes us to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, where we explore themes of hope, perseverance, and the fight for good in difficult times. International Book Month encourages us to reflect on literature that uplifts us, and Tolkien’s epic tale reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope.

J.R.R. Tolkien, born in 1892, is regarded as one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time. His works, including The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, are rich with moral lessons, themes of heroism, and the struggle between good and evil. The Lord of the Rings tells the story of a group of unlikely heroes who embark on a quest to destroy a powerful ring, saving Middle-earth from the forces of darkness.

In today’s episode, we focus on finding the good in the world, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. Tolkien’s message is clear: there is always something worth fighting for. We explore how hope can be a powerful motivator in challenging times and how recognizing the good around us, no matter how small, can inspire us to keep going. Listeners are invited to reflect on the moments of goodness in their own lives and to hold onto that hope, even when times are tough.
