review of ' the christian world"

I would like to say that this book was very inspiring c.s. Lewis an amazing author and the gentleman reading was incredible very knowledgeable I really appreciate that thank you

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.
