In a dream, the author boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural being far removed from his expectations and comes to significant realizations about the ultimate consequences of everyday behavior. This is the starting point for a profound meditation upon good and evil.



"If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell."

Lewis makes a point to make it clear that what he visioned was only a dream and what he saw was only a mere metaphor. He does not insist on any of it being true or fact.

Clive Staples Lewis - (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writers of his day.

It is a wonderful way to imagine what will happen if we do not focus on what is truly the ultimate goal: God.
