Dedication is to George MacDonald and C. S. Lewis, who paved the way... worthy mentors with broad shoulders

A middle-aged man awakens to a new but present reality, containing neither a before nor an after. Reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald, another thought-provoking story from this bestselling novelist. It is written in 30 chapters with an Afterword and Notes.

Author calls this "a devotional fantasy, not a theological treatise" (p. 154)..."Obviously the germinal idea for The Garden, for those familiar with their works, will be seen to have come from MacDonald's Phantastes and Lilith (the two 'great books' mentioned in chapter 30) and Lewis's The Great Divorce - all first-person death and dream fantasies" (p.155)
