Reading S.C. Freiberger's The Long Hall is an eye-opening experience. It's faith building, sobering and profound. Mike E. "I enjoyed this book very much. It certainly reminded me of CS's books so if you liked his books I am sure you will like SC's first one. The storyline in this book is compelling and it has a great twist at the end. The journey that is taken in the book is very well thought out and is split into lots of moderately short chapters that I considered to be exactly the right length with each one exploring a new topic. This was a great way to explore the many different ideas raised by the book and to learn more, either as a Christian or a non-Christian. I think the ideas in this book will stay with me for a long time and as such I am sure this book will be a life-changer." The Long Hall is a fascinating and bizarre tale of a young man's journey to Hades, a high school where students are taught the tactics of demons. Interwoven within the tale are discussions about Creation, evolution, the big bang, racism, abortion, history, feminism, physics, philosophy and religion. Nothing is off-limits. Jasmine Hass "This book is excellent. The story was vivid and kept me on the edge of my seat; I had a hard time putting this one down." J.M. Myrick wrote The Long Hall is "a journey reminiscent of a Charles Dickens Novel." Like C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters , The Long Hall explores the tactics demons use but it ultimately challenges and strengthens the reader's faith. It is imaginative, powerful and inspiring, a uniquely captivating book.
I often see this picture online of a man surrounded by demons with angels fighting them off as the man is walking with a caption that says something along the lines of “Sometimes you don’t even realize what God is doing for you.” This book brought that imagine to life for me. I’ve been a Christian for several years but it was this book that really opened my eyes to the angles in which Satan pursues and lies to me. It has given me a new perspective on the challenging things I face day to day. The author gives a well rounded and researched perspective on how Satan lies to us in the modern age. The author uses scripture to answer the hard questions and leaves you with ideas on how to study it out on your own. Great book for those battling through what they believe.
I was first drawn in by the way this story is laid out. Something so complex has to be seen in terms we can understand and the message is well put together. The writer made the story unique in the approach while stringing together a journey reminiscent of a Charles Dickens Novel. Exposing lies and accepting truths are something we all deal with. This story places the weight on those decisions in terms that are very eye opening. It’s a fantastic read and might even open up your mind to deeper thought.
