I pick-up this book while I was working in HaeunDae.
It took me a week to read this book, and I read in Korean.
The context is complex.
But there are few things that I remember about this book.
One word to remember from this book is probably the last sentence of the book.
It says pain helps to show heroic ability or reveal such quality.
Some people may fall into deeper pain, but most of the people end up showing their heroic quality.
Pain helps people to strengthen their spirit, but that is not to say that pain is good all the time.
Romans 8:16 writes that the pain leads it to show God's glory, but we need to acknowledge some downfall that pain may lead into.
Anyway, people learn how to give-up themselves and learn how to give their ego instead of having strong self ego.
Lewis knew this.
He also talks about how heaven is very important. Its existence determines whether Christianity is truth or not truth.
Another thing was that people wanted to have full control of themselves while God created humanity for him. God created different
beings to glorify him, and one of his creation, humanity, chose to rebel against God because it has free will although it should
have been avoided? I am not sure....
The fall of humanity comes when we do not give up ourselves.
Thank you for helping me to write this short review haha... Thank you Lord.
