Rating:  - Outstanding book.
CS Lewis great theologian or great Christian apologist as some would say was one heck of a writer.
The Great Divorce C.S Lewis good as a stand alone story or as a more deeper spiritual book. I continue to be blown away by how good C.S Lewis is one of those authors where sometimes you get the strangest sensation that he is actually speaking directly to you.
The Great Divorce serves to remind all of us that while sin does indeed have an eternal penalty the first commandment ... Read More

Rating:  - The trouble with thee and ye
It took me a long, long time to get through this short book. I had difficulty following all the thees and the yees, tracking the differences between the spirits and the ghosts, deciphering the solid beings from the translucent ones.
I can sit through an amount of philosophizing; I don't think I can sit through much theologizing.
But there are times when something--and the gift of this book is you feel it is addressed to you. . .the meddlesome wife. . .to you the vain artist. . ... Read More
