C S Lewis was a facinating and brilliant man.. He was born in England in 1898, and is most remembered for his Narnia series of books.

Mr Lewis is probably the greatest Christian apologist writer since Paul. What makes Lewis so unique, is that he debates Christianity from a solid intellectual point of view.

To give you a little back ground on C S Lewis, He was an english professor at Cambridge university, on the same staff as J R R Tolken (Lord of the rings). The two were close friends.

In his youth, Lewis was a strict athiest, set out to debunk the "myth" of Christianity. The more information he gathered, the more he began to believe in the Christian doctrine.

The book Mere Christianity, was the result of radio broadcasts Lewis made in the 1940s. Charles Colson, of Watergate fame, read Mere Christianity in prison, and converted. Colson went on to establish the world's largest prison ministry.

Lewis is masterful and unassuming in his writing style. This is a "cant put down", to the believer, the skeptic, and even the nonbeliever.

The analogies and logic Lewis uses are truly inspirational. As someone who was always like a modern day Doubting Thomas,I can tell you, by the time I was done reading it, I felt certain ,beyond any doubt, that God not only existed, but that He loved me and was there everyday in my life.

I don't want to spend a lot of time quoting this great book, and spoiling it for you. My purpose is to whet your appetite to the point where you read this Gem. I will site just a couple of examples, to see if this is your cup of tea.

On the toplc of Omnipresence, he explains God in an analogy of being like a writer. We think in terms like how does God answer so many prayers at once etc. He goes on to explain that, as the writer, he can pen, Mary got up from the table. He may not write again for a week, but when he returns, he writes, she walked across the room. To the reader, it was one continous act. God is timeless.

He also points up that living a good life, differs from living a Godly life. If a cruise ship sails a perfectly good trip, and arrives early in Calcutta, the voyage was still a failure if the destination was New York.

In another chapter, talking about moderation, he likens right acts and wrong acts to a musical notes. There are no right and wrong notes, says Lewis. Every note is both wrong or right, depending on the tune.

Lewis sets the stage for an absolute right and wrong, that we are all born with. This is what he said, got him on the trail of accepting Jesus Christ. You can take Nazi Germany's moral standard, and our modern standard, and make an assumption that ours is "right" Lewis contends that there must be an inborn sense of right and wrong, Given us by God, that we all accept as the true "right"

I am starting to regret writing this review, because Lewis is SO eloquent and persuassive, that I am doing him no justice... Forgive the bad review, and do yourself a favor and go get this wonderful book. I hope it clears as many nagging questions up for you, as it did for me. Mike the salesman
