If you're a LOTR fan, take a few minutes to read Image and Faith by Ben Domenech, in which he discusses "the significant, clear, yet graceful images of a greater faith" in The Lord of the Rings. He identifies Gandalf as an image of the Holy Spirit, Aragorn as an image of the Kingship of God, and Frodo as an image of the Lamb of God.
