fiction try:The Pilgrim's Regress,it was Lewis' first Christian work after his conversion.
As far as The Great Divorce goes,all I can say is that I am of the opinion of
Mr.George MacDonald.

Warrior 4 Jesus wrote:Surprised by Joy was a total bore unless your a student of literature and understand his references (which I'm not).
Till We Have Faces wasn't very good either.
I love the Narnia books and The Space Trilogy is pretty good.
Screwtape Letters was great but Proposes a Toast was only so-so.
I haven't read any others (a little bit of Boxen, but it was so boring).
USSRGirl wrote:Q, well, I'm not too disturbed by fantasy speculations of what heaven might be like. I can see how you might find it a bit disrespectful, but the idea was not really what heaven was like, but what people are like. God does not condemn anyone to hell. Everyone has a plain and simple choice, but for their love of human and fleshy sin which drags them down they choose to get back on the bus to hell rather than go over the mountain to heaven.
