Fascinating book .. thank for posting the link. I see it is a work of fiction categorized as fantasy. Note this: "According to MacDonald, while it is possible to leave Hell and enter Heaven, doing so implies turning away (repentance); or as depicted by Lewis, embracing ultimate and unceasing joy itself."

We know, of course, from scripture (Luke 16:19–31) that this is not possible.
