“The Master says to our master, ‘Come up. Share my rest and splendour till all natures that were your enemies become slaves to dance before you and backs for you to ride, and firmness for your feet to rest on.”
Each person can escape the chains of their vices to grow to their full stature and obtain rest.
The happiness and love we feel in this life is a shadow of Heaven’s joy, meant for all those who can love God more than their vices.
Moses 1:39
“For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”

There are some books that you read and understandsome of it, while realizing that there is still a lot that you don't yet understand. So you grow up a bit, and then come back to the book. The second time you read it, you understand a bit more. The third time even more...
The Great Divorce is such a book. A book that grows with you. A book that's a classic. There were parts that I loved and parts that mystified me. But when I come back to it after growing up some more, I will (hopefull!)'get' even more.

Not my favorite work by C.S. Lewis. While the illustration he uses for heaven and hell is interesting, most of the ghost/ spirit conversations seemed to lack Lewis's usual perceptiveness.
I read this book again and again. When I was ill in high school and up at night this was my go to book for several months
