A great overview of some of the main theological aspects of modern Christianity. Lewis' writing is fluid, clear, and convincing. Though perhaps a little simplistic for readers desiring a deep theological engagement, it nevertheless remains an accessible, accomplished work. ( )

CS Lewis writes this tiny book for the average Christians who want to feel reconnected to their faith. It's quite conversational - parts of it were done as a radio broadcast before they were a part of this book. It's also a solid foundation upon which to build and encourage belief, devoted both to faith in Christ and daily Christian living. It doesn't seem like much of a book when you first pick it up, but it ends up covering a lot of ground quite approachably. ( )

One of my favorite books of all time. There is a chapter on forgiveness that will change how you think for ever. Awesome! ( )

I listened to this book in audio format from Audible, and although I had read it multiple times--the audio format added a whole new rich texture that I enjoyed thoroughly. Lewis' clarity never ceases to amaze me and strengthen my faith. One thing I do want to note though is how Lewis is misused. Often I hear many Christians state (sometimes as an excuse to avoid taking a position on the things that God intends us to study) that they just practice "mere Christianity." Lewis would not have approved. He never intended his work to be used in that manner. I suggest these "mere Christians" re-read this book and take to heart Lewis' admonition that the basic principles he elucidated are not intended to be a stopping place, but rather a juncture that we all pass through in the "hall" on the way to the "room" that will be our home. We are not intended to remain in the milk of "mere Christianity," but to move on to the rich and bountiful meat of deep study and immersion into the joy of knowing God. ( )

Sometimes faith needs a little logic. Here you can find some. And, as a bonus, what great history. Think about hearing this on the radio during a most fearful period. ( )
