Book Reviews of Mere Christianity
Book Review: What Makes Christianity So Christian?
Summary: 5 Stars
The "non-theological" Lewis tackles the theological challenge of apologetics admirably in this wonderful book. He wrestles through numbers of challenges to the Christian faith and lays out some of the core principles of Christianity. Although some readers wish that Lewis would go farther and deal with deeper doctrine, and religious distinctive, I would contend that Lewis has achieved his goal. Lewis set out to deal with the heart of Christianity. He deals not with the debated aspects (with only a couple of exceptions), but focuses on what should, in all reality, be the focus of every Christian. This work was most valuable for me as an opportunity to return to the roots of my Christianity, to remember why I believe what I believe, and to become motivated to live in light of that belief.Book Review: Great Insight into the Christian Worldview
Summary: 4 Stars
Lewis's work here is not a sweeping apologetic of the Christian faith. That being said, it does provide an insightful commentary on the worldview of the modern Christian. Despite a few chapters that are dry, the author's style of writing is very enjoyable. Lewis knows how to be whimsical while dealing with serious issues.
Lewis is no fundamentalist, and he solicits an informed faith. He argues effectively that the Christian worldview is a very worthy one indeed.
But the greatest accomplishment of this book is that it brings all the major ideas and theology of the Christian faith together into one concise and understandable volume. I know of no other book that has so succeeded in that task.
Book Review: Should be in your library!
Summary: 5 Stars
Review of Audiobook:
Mere Christianity should be a staple in every believers library. C.S. Lewis compiled this book after a series of radio lectures. It's a great book that really gets to the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Whether you are a Baptist, Pres., Methodist or any other denomination, you need to read this book! Lewis shows how we are all united with CHRIST! It's 10 hours long, so you get a great bang for your buck
The narrator is fine. His voice was deep and made the book enjoyable. I would highly recommend picking this book up!

Book Review: Merely the same things rehashed
Summary: 1 Stars
I recieved this book as a gift from someone I thought to be an open-minded, good person. This book has nothing new in it. It is worthless. It is just another example of a poor deluded SOB trying to convince himself that he really likes the cage he was tricked into entering.This book is prosylazation. Prosylatizers, I have found, try to convert people because they are insecure about their faith, and think that by converting the world they will be secure in their faith. The truly faithful person does not prosylatize, for if one is secure in one's faith, why preach? If I could give this book a NEGATIVE FIVE, I would.
Book Review: Enchanting trip through Christianity
Summary: 5 Stars
This is really one of the best Christians books of all time. The intention of Jack was to write about Christianity taking out the typical religious sting. This is not a small fit given the exclusive nature of religion. And Jack achieves his task marvelously.When Jack writes is like an old loved friend explaining to us things that until this moment where elusive to our understanding. He led us in a journey describing the enchanting building of Christianity and leave us marveled at the splendor of our discovery. This is a MUST have for any library (buy it hard copy, when you read it you will know why).
