J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings stands in a class of its own, defining the genre of high fantasy and setting a stage for modern writers to come. I cannot help but believe divine inspiration guided Tolkien's mind and pen in creating this masterpiece.

But I'm not the kind of fan who can reference The Silmarillion to answer your esoteric question on Middle Earth. I'm the kind of fan who hums the theme song when walking over a hill, or who has a beer in the shady corner of a pub to pretend I'm Strider.

You see, I can appreciate high-brow literary merit. But that's not why I love the book.

The core reason I love The Lord of the Rings is the same reason I'm starting this website. It's a story about fighting for goodness in a world that is being swallowed by evil. If you are living your life fighting for goodness, then this story should be familiar to you. It's your story. And it's anybody's story who can clearly see that the goodness at stake in our world is worth fighting for, despite the odds being overwhelmingly stacked against them.

It doesn't matter how forsaken or impossible the quest may be—if there is still goodness to protect, we keep on fighting, until death do us part.

I hope and pray this website brings common ground to those of us still fighting.
