Excerpt from the Introduction:
“Frodo did not fight in combat as did the soldiers of Rohan and Gondor; instead, like all of us, his battlefield was in his own mind, heart and soul and ‘it is by warfare that the soul makes progress,’ as St. Abba John the Short (339-409) said. ” Read more...

“Anne Marie,
Greetings! I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your
article "Did Frodo Fail?" in the latest BB [Beyond Bree April 2011]. Excellent! It is so rare to find

Fine job, and do keep up the great work!
Nai Eru lye mánata (May God bless you)”
