Kaleidoscope: C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce

A strange bus ride from a gloomy, rainy town. A place of unimaginable light and beauty. A place where people are offered the chance to stay. These settings provide the narrative engine for C.S. Lewis’s brilliant imagination to help us understand the demarcation between Heaven and hell. Lewis imagines a hell that is not a place of fire and pitchforks, but a place of eternal gloom. Meanwhile Heaven is depicted not as a locale in the clouds, but a place of ultimate reality. Told with humor and insight, this short book helps us see ourselves as who we are to God.
