Excellent Collections of Christian Essays

if you love Lewis, you will love this rendition of Christian in the world, a collection of essays combined in on audio listening experience. Lewis, as always, is insightful and makes complex concepts easily understandable. I love the audio reader, he dose a great job!

great moral compass

The last chapter on justifying infidelity because the cheater "has a right to happiness" is one of the best arguments for why cheaters really are garbage people.

The other essays are also wonderfully written and insightful, calling each person to become the best he or she can by being loyal, kind, responsible, honorable, brave, and self-controlled while seeking wisdom and justice.

The analysis and reflections of the Christian faith.

Loved this book. A great compilation of themes. Gave new perspectives and insights. I especially enjoyed how his thoughts on then current times are so relevant today.

Basically a smaller version of God in the Dock

A collection Lewis’ shorter works. Much of them are found in other collections; especially God in the Dock, but if you haven’t read that, and don’t have the time for it, perhaps this would be a better “bite sized” collection

Wonderful book

I am very glad I chose to listen to this book. I am going to get more of C.S. Lewis's book.

Back to the basics

As always, Mr. Lewis brings us back to the foundations of the Christian faith. The farther we move away from these moorings, the greater our risk of unsound doctrine.

Timeless

Timeless reflections on truths of Christian faith and obstacles faced this side of Heaven.

Fantastic

This book was superb and is a inquisitive read to view society through a Christian lense.

Thought provoking

Definitely had to stop many times to think, but I enjoyed the depth of his responses and the perspectives.
