Deeper questions of life and death, and of God's relationship to man, are explored in this collection of "dreams" by a noted English novelist and literary critic. A man takes an uncertain step into the next world as his life ends - Defendants at the Last Judgment hurl their own accusations at the Judge - An angel arrives on Christmas Eve to guide one soul through a night of despair and doubt - Flowers in a garden contemplate their own mortality - What would it mean if the world renounced Christ, or God took Christ away from the world? - And in a world of the future, pleasure and luxury are pursued ... and children are nowhere to be found. (Introduction by D. Leeson)
