"God in the Dock: Essays on Theology and Ethics" is a series of essays and papers on the subject of God's nature and his pursuit of humankind. Another excellent quote from that book is: "we follow One who stood and wept at the grave of Lazarus - not surely, because He was grieved that Mary and Martha wept, and sorrowed for their lack of faith (though some thus interpret) but because death, the punishment of sin, is even more horrible in his eyes than in ours."

Answer: God

"Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."

The 1945 book, "The Great Divorce", Lewis takes the reader on a bus journey through heaven and hell, meeting all sorts of fantastic creatures on the way. It tells the story of how God relates to us, and how we relate to him. It also discusses the choices we have in life.
