Mere Christianity
"C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way." — Anthony Burgess, New York Times Book Review
Our moral consciousness and moral judgements are proof to the human race that a moral being exists—God.
Mere Christianity explores the core beliefs of Christianity by providing an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. A brilliant collection, Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age.
The book brings together Lewis’ legendary broadcast talks during World War II. Lewis discusses that everyone is curious about: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and kindness.

I think this is a must read for any one in the Christian faith and even atheists or agnostics. I am just now beginning to take a deeper look at Christianity and feel that this is a book that presents itself not as case for why Christianity is great but why it should be considered when exploring several faiths. Even if you don’t believe that Jesus was the son of God or even if there is a God, read this book. It’s not trying to convert people; it’s only educating and opening your mind. You might read this and think it is utter nonsense but at least you know that you looked at the other side and know a little more.
I feel that if I read this several years ago when I had removed myself from any kind of Christian belief that I would have had the same overall feeling at the end. And the feeling is that there are some great points in this book that do plant a seed and allow further investigation.
