Parables of the Afterlife

By Brent Fredrick Weissert

A young woman's car breaks down, leaving her stranded alongside a country road. She sets out on foot to find help, only to wander into a real-world nightmare from which there is no escape--except one. She must make a choice--the single most difficult choice she could ever be made to make. Her decision will determine the fate of her immortal soul.

A distinguished scholar discovers a vast library containing the sum of all human learning. It is his to enjoy for all eternity--but there is a catch. Is a man--any man--fit to live forever? He may have found the answer in an old book. But will he believe? He must make a choice--the single most difficult choice he could ever be made to make. His immortal soul hangs in the balance.

C. S. Lewis famously said that in the end there are only two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "Thy will be done." These stories are those words recast in parable form.
