Read this book!!!!!
This book by C S Lewis is about what separates Heaven and Hell. It is told as a story about a bus trip from Hell to the outskirts of Heaven.
It is not a very long book - the edition I read was about 120 pages. I started it yesterday I think and just finished it. Very hard to put down and a very fast read.
I think the main theme really is on the true nature of love - not what we think of it ordinarily on Earth. Among other points, it was shown how good works become ends to themselves (bad) instead of expressions of love (good). Also, we should not allow love to be held hostage by misery.
Another interesting point was that Hell was really very small compared to Heaven - Hell being something all folded into itself and not expansive as is Heaven.
Highly recommended!!!
