Story
In this course, Professor Joseph Pearce shows that Tolkien's own words about The Lord of the Rings being a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work" also apply to The Hobbit. Some readers mistakenly believe that The Hobbit is simply a children's story with little significance. While Tolkien indeed wrote the book for his children's entertainment, the narrative simplicity only serves its great moral and theological profundity. Professor Pearce guides you through various life lessons discovered through an in-depth reading of The Hobbit.

I wanted someone or something to explain to me what is wrong? Is there something wrong with me or do I choose in the wrong way? Despite listening to many similar courses, I didn’t find answers to my questions.
After listening to this course, I found out that I had been doing many mistakes and that I have some disadvantages. I also found that I am not that bad; I just do not understand.
I was surprised when professor Everett said that he has been married for 48 years. 48, Jesus, professor, how did you do it?
There are many unique things about this course. The first thing is the scientific approach. Professor Everett did great research about the topics. As a doctor, I understand how difficult it is to have a Ph.D. in psychology and how difficult it is to simplify psychology topics.
The second thing is that professor Everett understands the frustration related to failed relationships. The course is full of hope and I think your relationship will definitely work if you followed and understood it deeply.
Another unique thing is that the person who is talking has been married for almost 50 years. A man who knows how to keep a relationship that long is worth listening to.
I will try to make things right next time I am in a relationship based on this course. I am looking for a long-term relationship and I think I will find it this time.
Thank you, professor Everett, for this great course.
