The Great Divorce
I enjoyed the various characters who took the bus ride to the afterlife. Some carried their sinful ways with them and didn't make it to the mountain (heaven). The observer who told the story seemed very humble to me and I liked him right away. It was interesting to read the descriptions of the afterlife from C.S. Lewis' perspective.
The Great Divorce
c.s. lewis is always a good read. Sometimes too deep, but I always learn something. when I'm in thrift stores I always buy his books. Or order them on Amazon when my church is giving a class on one of his books.
The Great Divorce
I love how C.S. Lewis makes you think a different way about Christianity, and this case, the afterlife. Easy to read.
The Great Divorce
This is a classic piece by C.S. Lewis and a metaphor of the Christian concepts of heaven and hell that is still relevant today.
The Great Divorce
One of my absolute favorite C.S. Lewis books, told as a parable of a grey world with grey people who meet their former colleagues and loved ones in a bus trip to the edge of heaven. Here Lewis combines his vivid imagination and brilliant writing with timeless theological questions. My favorite scene is the last one that has remained with me for many years: the picture of sin as a lizard sitting on one's shoulder, with its tail wrapped around its victim's neck, whispering with greater and lesser intensity depending on how aware one is of its presence. My description doesn't begin to capture the wonderful mythical quality of this book.
The Great Divorce
Good quality edition. The hardcover looks great in my library. And the story is life changing- a must read for all CS Lewis fans and Christians!
