Excellent, in every way

I’ve read most of these many times, and this excellent production has fed me with wisdom and Grace again. I was not familiar with the final selection that reminded me of Pascal’s Pensées: some esoteric, some dahlia bulbs that flower spectacularly.

Lewis has an amazing way of using simple analogies to explain complex ideas.

Tons of useful information in these books! Whether you are Christians or not, the ideas in these ideas will be helpful for anybody who is trying to better themselves.

Partial Review - The Great Divorce

The Great Divorce - finished 11/2023: Another underrated CS Lewis work. I appreciated the clear presentation that this work was NOT what Lewis thought Heaven/Hell to be. Despite Lewis's brilliant way of revealing moral truths with vivid poetic imagery, I think sometimes his poeticism causes him to ignore some Orthodox doctrine. In this work, he leans pretty close to Universalism among other things. Still, because his work is fictional (with Moral truths) I can ignore some of the questionable implications of this analogy.

Overall, it must be stated, the Great Divorce is a brilliant work exposes the truth, that unless we truly die to self (along with everything we have, desire, and are) we can never enter Heaven and experience the truest joy of God's presence.

Grade survey of CS Luis works narration and performance perfect

This was a great survey, audio survey that is of CS. Luis notable works, and even excerpts from the works of George McDonald. Each of the narrators selected were outstanding for the particular work that they narrated. Really enjoyed this collection.
