Publisher's summary

Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice".

Critic reviews

"Geoffrey Howard's performance is superb; he is clear and unhurried, giving just the right emphasis and/or inflection....Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a pleasure to hear such a skillful reading of an eloquent work." (Library Journal)

So great!

The voice along with the prophetic words of Mr.Lewis made this listen so inspiring. His logical breakdown of faith and Christ truly opened me up to see things very clearly.

Words cannot convey ….

CSL Is so articulate and brilliant in a way that few can describe…his true conversion harnesses his brilliant mind and tongue that he was blessed with from the Creator. His words are so pure and welcome,almost like a glass of water while walking in the Desert.

The Holy Bible, Chuck Missler, and this, C.S. Lewis at his best. Must Read or listen, especially today.

Narrator

I felt that the narrator read too quickly to absorb the words and meaning fully.

Very good for Christians of all levels

This book does a very good job at making the doctrine of God sound very simple, and in simplicity is how you should spread the message of Christ.

As relevant today as when it was first written

I plan on listening again, as there was so much to think about and digest.
