About this listen

Master storyteller and essayist C. S. Lewis here tackles the central questions of the Christian faith: Who was Jesus? What did he accomplish? What does it mean for me?

In these classic essays, which began as talks on the BBC during World War II, Lewis creatively and simply explains the basic tenets of Christianity. Taken from the core section of Mere Christianity, this book provides an accessible way for people to discover these timeless truths. For those looking to remind themselves of what they hold true, or those looking for a snapshot of Christianity, this book is a wonderful introduction to the faith.

Critic reviews

“If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites…Mr. Lewis will be among the angels.” ( New Yorker)
“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.” (John Updike)

And it was! C.S.L. Is a most thoughtful and diligent analyst of life and how we perceive it. My faith needed a boost as the world around is such a weight on ones shoulders. I recommend you dispense with the competition and consequent aggression that trying to conform to what others say entails in your daily struggle, rise above it and read scripture and Live!

I knew this was something of value to read

I found this book takes a lot of listening as complex concepts are explored; but it is so worth the while. Don't be put off by the slightly old fashioned language in places 'cos it was written in the 1940/50's? The explanations and insights provided are like sunlight breaking through a storm cloud or a muddy pool suddenly becoming crystal clear; not only is it enlightening but inspiring and answers questions you didn't even realize were bothering you. I cannot recommend it more highly and I have read and reread it many times. I am quite certain I will continue to do so in the future. It should even encourage one to get the paperback copy of the original which has a few more parts to it and provides more material for contemplation.

Fascinating and enlightening

This is one of the clearest and fullest explanations of Christian belief I have ever read. The language can be 1940's but the ideas, explanations and illustrations are still very much of today. If you want to know what Christians actually (or are supposed to ) believe then listen to this book. Thoroughly recommend.

Clearest explanation of Christian belief ever

As a Redeemed Christian, I am so glad I came across this book. I have learned of ways to help those willing to listen to sound reasoning about Who was Jesus, Why he came to die and What I believe as Believer.

Notable Points:
👉🏽Humans are not damaged creatures to be fixed but rebellious creatures that need to lay down their arms.
👉🏽Jesus came as God to do what only the ABSOLUTE can do.
👉🏽It’s a foolish and patronising statement to say that one accepts Jesus as a good moral teacher, He is either who He said He was and Is or a lunatic.

“I have come that they may have life in abundance…” John 10:10
