by Alan Vermilye

Overview

The most trusted study guide to learning The Great Divorce!

Reading The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis is intriguing and entertaining, but often a little difficult to grasp. Not anymore with The Great Divorce Study Guide! This comprehensive Bible study workbook guides you through each one of Lewis' masterful metaphors helping you easily understand the content and feel comfortable sharing with others.

You will be captivated by this classic allegorical tale where damned spirits are given a vacation away from Hell to visit Heaven and where they are invited to stay forever. There, they are persuaded by people they formerly knew, relatives and friends, to come with them up the mountain to enjoy the bliss of Heaven. What's the catch? They must leave behind what's keeping them in Hell and accept the love of God.

The study guide greatly helped us maneuver through, absorb, and understand the book. I can't imagine studying C.S. Lewis' book without this study guide. We will use Vermilye's other guides in the future.
