Last year we read three of the seven books in The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. Our family, however, needed a break from Lewis. And last fall, when a friend of mine shared on Twitter that one of his friends just released the second book in his series of children’s books—books the author called “worldview novellas”—I was intrigued. So I bought both books, and last week our family finished them.The books are The Owlings, Book I and Book II by D.A. DeWitt. DeWitt is the dean of Boyce College (the undergraduate school of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). At Boyce, he teaches courses on worldview, philosophy, apologetics, and C. S. Lewis. He has written several books, most recently, Christ or Chaos (Crossway, 2016). He also blogs regularly at Theolatte.com. (I’d encourage you to check him out; I enjoy his weekly “Weekend Worldview Reader” email).In Book I, we meet a boy named Josiah who has lost his father. He and his mother live on a farm. My children giggled each time Josiah’s mother calls her son, “Sugar booger,” which she did frequently. Josiah and his friend and neighbor, Addi—with the help of four talking owls—work through the prospect of moving, a significant challenge for a young boy. In Book II, more characters are added, including Matt and Megan, and a bully named Cody. (After all, what would a childhood be like without a bully?!)Each book engages a different aspect of an atheistic worldview. In Book I, the issue is naturalism. Josiah has a substitute teacher named Sam (after notable atheist Sam Harris), who teaches the class that “Nature is all that there was, is, and ever will be”—an allusion to Carl Sagan’s famous quote. Through a family struggle, Josiah meets four talking owls who help him learn that there is more to our world than nature; preeminently, there’s a Creator who cares deeply about his creation.In Book II, the issue is—what might be called—scientism. In this view, science is not so much “helper of man,” but rather a god. This story takes place during a field trip to a local museum. It’s here that the museum’s director, Dr. Russell (who is named after famous atheist Bertrand Russell), repeatedly seeks to teach the students that “What science cannot teach us, we cannot know.” Again, with the help of the owls, Josiah learns the limits of scientism, even as he seeks to solve the case of who stole his lunchbox.DeWitt plans to write five books in the series. I’m sure our family will be reading each as they are released. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review from an 11 year old who loves stories and truth *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014* This is from my 11 year old daughter:The Owlings is a fabulous book about a boy named Josiah, who is being faced with serious and real questions about life, which many others face today. I'm only 11, but in The Owlings, even I can see the great struggle against the beliefs of secular evolution and the People of God. To sum it up, it's is about young Josiah, when his farm is predicted to be destroyed and replaced by a highway. However, the real problem/question is that his temporary history teacher is teaching a new thing, evolution, to the class. To Josiah, this is a strange thing, but with his old life being taken away, it remains a lesser thing in his mind. It gets bigger, however, when 3 mysterious talking owls arrive to tell him what life is really about. The 4th owl is also very important, but in a different way. Josiah, in every way, will make the decision of his life in The Owlings. I like that in this book you get shown how important these decisions really are. America is not a free country in science, even today. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My son really liked it! *by N***F on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2015* From my 11 (turning 12 year old son): "The owlings is a great inspirational story about world view that will cause young minds to truly feel the mind of main character, Josiah, as he struggles to understand and decide how he should view the world. With society as it is today, it's becoming more and more important to choose the right view for the world at an early age. A shorter but very enjoyable book, readers will be quite pleased with the quality of the read and the thoughts that it provokes." --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51992003-the-owlings-a-worldview-novella-paperback-november-22-2014](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/51992003-the-owlings-a-worldview-novella-paperback-november-22-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
