What happens when you read C.S. Lewis's vision of purgatory through the lens of an entire year's worth of literature? Tyler and Sadie from the Great Catholic Book Club wrap up their inaugural year with The Great Divorce—and take you on a retrospective journey through every book they've read in 2025.
Each character they've encountered this year becomes a soul wrestling with that ultimate choice: the path toward heaven or the retreat to hell. This isn't just literary analysis; it's a meditation on hope, repentance, and the radical free will that defines our spiritual journey.
Tyler and Sadie explore how C.S. Lewis makes purgatory not a place but a process—that middle stage where self-awareness grows and souls either walk toward the Lord or turn back. They connect each month's book to this beautiful vision, showing how every great story echoes the same eternal question: Will you keep walking toward the light?
This conversation celebrates a year of growth, community, and diving deeper into faith through literature. Join us as we reflect on how art becomes prayer, how stories reveal truth, and why "the glory of God is man fully alive."
