Publisher's summary

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide.

This audiobook brings together C. S. Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

Fabulous. A must read!

Fabulous. A must read! This book is all "meat" and not a quick listen; the kind where you listen to a chapter or two a day and let it digest. I highly recommend it!

Enlightening!

I have considered myself a strong Christian my whole life. But CS Lewis opened my eyes to my blind spots. I learned much more about loving my enemies and pride. I am more guilty than I realized of pride. I truly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about Christianity or to Christians who want to be better Christians.

I enjoy it more each time I listen.

C.S. Lewis does a thorough job of making Christianity understandable and accessible to "mere" humans. I am convinced and renewed each time I listen.

I enjoyed the reader as well.

Philosophical

This was a great book and taught me a lot about who I am in Christ. However, there were so many philosophical metaphors that I lost count. I plan on listening to it many more times. The performer was difficult to follow at times because of the English accent but did a great job nonetheless.

The core of Christianity

I really enjoyed this book. I'm a raised and born active christian and although this book is first and foremost for non-christians I really found his useful and have recommended it for many friends. he simplifies Christianity, helps you see the core and gives some very interesting ideas and solutions to problems that one might encounter throughout the christian journey. Great book!
