The Great Divorce

The only explicitly Christian book in the collection, and the perfect place to end the journey.

C.S. Lewis imagines the afterlife as a series of choices, and it turns out the hardest one is simply being honest about yourself. Our study guide explores how The Great Divorce makes a powerful case for Catholic teachings on purgatory, particular judgment, and the process of becoming holy. We look at why the ghosts can't walk on the grass, why Napoleon will never get on the bus, and why the painful work of facing ourselves is something we could be doing right now, today, in this life.

Salvation is not a "one and done" deal. It's a "one and begun" journey. And the joy at the end is that it was heaven all along.
