In November of this year I will be leading the annual C. S. Lewis Retreat at beautiful Camp Allen in Texas. The theme of this year’s retreat “for readers, writers and mere Christians” is Lewis’ Great Divorce, specifically, as the title of the conference indicates (Choosing Heaven: Eternity in the Here and Now), it is about the eternal significance and consequences of the decisions that we make in our everyday lives. I’ll be giving three talks related to this theme over the weekend of November 9-11 and there are also a host of other speakers and Christian entertainers to ensure that those attending will be surprised by the joy of spending a weekend in the company of C. S. Lewis and friends. Please see the text of the e-mail from the C. S. Lewis Foundation below for details of how to register:

Dates: November 9 – 11, 2012

Location: Camp Allen Retreat and Conference Center in Navasota, Texas

Theme: Choosing Heaven: Eternity in the Here & Now

Choices define us and shape our future existence, not only in terms of where we spend eternity, but also who we become on our journey. But how can Heaven serve as a practical reality, giving shape to the choices we make every day?

Come find out! Come away to the piney woods of Camp Allen, to good food and to laughter, learning, and community. Come join us as Professor Joseph Pearce helps us see through the lens of C.S. Lewis’s unique experience as relayed in The Great Divorce, his fictional tale of a transformative bus ride to Heaven.

Come to open your heart and mind and grow, as together we learn to choose the ways of Heaven in our everyday lives.
