Teacher Guide: The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
[Originally published in Ready Readers: High School Literature, Vol. 1]
Perhaps the most powerful devotional work by the most beloved Christian writer of the twentieth century, The Great Divorce is C.S Lewis' meditation on the nature of heaven, hell, sin and divine redemption. Join Lewis himself on a fanciful journey from the Grey Town to the Solid Land and listen in on his interviews with various "ghosts" -- fellow souls taking a special trip for an advance look at heaven. Each interview is an incisive commentary on human nature that is sure to surprise, amuse, convict and inspire you. This 145-page novel is not only appropriate for junior high and high school students but also a must read for grownups - even if your kids are small!
