The Great Divorce (edició 2000)

This is a fantasy/allegory about a group of people in hell riding a bus to visit heaven. They get to see what heaven is like, and people from heaven try to persuade them to stay. But most of them don't appreciate heaven at all and choose to go back on the bus. That's because in order to appreciate heaven they need to accept some of their core beliefs and values are wrong, and embrace the love and help of God. Most of them are just really into whatever it is they value above all else (freedom in thinking, control over loved ones, self-righteousness, self-pity....etc). They are actually more comfortable with the gloomy place they came from, where they can persist in their own ways, albeit becoming more and more distanced from one's neighbors. I thought the book is very interesting and helps me understand salvation and heaven and hell much better. ( )

This is one of the best meditations on Heaven and Hell I have ever read. It answers many questions people have and is written in an easy-to-read style that poses no problems. Truly amazing. ( )

This is the story about an afterlife bus ride from hell to heaven that explores Lewis’s concept that “the doors of hell are locked in the inside” which is actually a quote from The Problem of Pain but expanded upon in this book. I found it interesting, but my mom said it was confusing, so idk. It’s a pretty short book so take a chance on it. ( )

This was a fascinating book. I don't agree with all the theology put forth here, but it is thought provoking and an enjoyable read. ( )

It's Lewis' version of Dickens' Christmas Carol. :) ( )
