SYNOPSIS
C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce is a classic Christian allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven. An extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment, Lewis’s revolutionary idea in the The Great Divorce is that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis’ The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil.
REVIEW
Like The Screwtape Letters this story takes everything we think we know about Heaven & Hell (good and evil) and puts an entirely different yet highly probable spin on it.
In one of the early chapters, Lewis said, “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done”, and those to whom God says, “Thy will be done.”” That, dear reader, is the plain unvarnished truth.
My Life in Our Father's World 
I’ve read both “The Great Divorce” and “The Screwtape Letters.” As you said, C.S. Lewis was a master at looking at things in a slightly different light.

And as a result, we look at them differently too!

I read this for the first time a few years ago. Lewis is always a challenge for me (except the Narnia books). The line you quoted in the last paragraph is probably my favorite from the book.

I read “The Great Divorce” years ago and don’t remember as much of it as I’d like, but Sunday my daughter and I are going to see the theatrical production. I’m really excited!

The Great Divorce is a novel by the British author C. S. Lewis, published in 1945, and based on a theological dream vision of his in which he reflects on the Christian conceptions of Heaven and Hell.
