• C.S. Lewis' Lands Of Shadow

  Opinion in Books — by Aaman Lamba — on May 24, 2005

• Beyond the Shadowlands

  Martindale's book shows Lewis believed Heaven is a real place, more real than we can imagine, filled with love and Joy. It surrounds us and fills our being and all that we do. Hell is the opposite. It is virtually nothing. It is the sin we have chosen and what is left of us are our remains in Hell.
