Evaluate Containing Books Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters

Mere Christianity is kind of like Jesus 101. An examination of what Christianity means from the philosophical side, in the form of a gentle conversation, without all the trappings of strident dogma that so often turn seekers away. Bits may appear dated, given the era in which it was written, but for the most part it's classic.

This book is definitely thought provoking. I could only ever read one chapter at a time because I literally had to stop and think about what I was reading. Anywho, interesting read and definitely makes you think twice about how and why you worship.

Haven't finished it but already Fallen in Love with it. Very inspirational books! C. S.Lewis, among the best Christian writers who are not in a great number, knows the nature of humans so much! Seems it could be imagined how much he suffered in reversing his thoughts during his writing those letters from the perspective of the Screwtape. Mere Christianity is the masterpiece.

One of my favorite insights was enjoying the present, not wallowing in past hurts or longing for reliving previous thrills, not yearning for future good or fearing the upcoming at the expense of the present blessings.

Screwtape Letters is surprisingly funny and shows some really incisive self-awareness by Lewis. Mere Christianity hangs its entire argument on an assertion, made in the first ten pages, that must have sounded convincing at the time it was written. The rest heads downhill and gets lost in dogmatic minutia.

What an excellent Volume. Those who are new believers or searching Truth will find the simple logic (but Old English) both convincing and convicting. How do you get from a belief in nothing to God? It's more straightforward than you can imagine.New believers and sceptics alike cannot logically counter the pure Truth and method that C.S. Lewis employs as he discribes his own search for God and discovers Christianity as the only Truth to answer life's most essential questions.I cannot challenge

I LOVED this book. In fact I borrowed a copy from the library, read a chapter and quickly realized I wanted my own copy. I happily underlined, noted, and marked up my copy - knowing I will reread it many times and look forward to remembering all I learned. It is a keeper, and I'm pretty picky about which books I let sit on my shelves. (One-time reads are for libraries to hold onto!) C.S. Lewis does a remarkable job at logically walking the reader (or radio listener as it was first intended)
