About this audiobook
In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. Bringing together Lewis' legendary broadcast talks during World War Two from his three previous books The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, countless reasons that make this book so great!, although it may get to profound for the way it narrates and explores Christianity, it just hit me so many times and obviously there is divine wisdom here!

A great representation of the core of Christianity
