Description

In this episode, Pastor Casey addresses C.S. Lewis' book The Great Divorce, a fantasy book that tells the story of people in hell brought on a bus to heaven and given a choice of if they'd like to enter in. In light of Jesus' parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, is Lewis' premise way off base, or is there value to the book? And if so, how should we read it?
