Lewis was a non believer (read agnostic) but latter on became spokesman for the Anglican church

Lewis wrote pamplets during WW2 to help up lift the moral of the people

My brother got me this book ages ago and I'm finally setting to read it.

Just finished this. Good book for anybody who wants to think deeply about their faith.

Just finished rereading this today.

Loving it so far. His mind is amazing!

Just bought Mere Christianity on iBooks. But first to finish The Hobbit.

I've gone back to this book numerous times since my first reading in 1973. I was 18.

Can't stop reading! Incredible book on moral, philosophy and true christianity views.

The first book I'm reading by C.S. Lewis.

Finished the book.

I really don't like reading but I know how important it is to read especially the Bible. But this book if the best I've read so far.

Read, learn, read, learn.

Don't why I haven't read this earlier in life

God is easy to please, but hard to satisfy.

Finally taking the time to read Lewis' non-fiction.

50 pages in and I can't stop reading.

People often think of Christian morality as a kind of bargain in which God says, "If you keep a lot of rules I'll reward you, and if you don't I'll do the other thing." I do not think that is the best way of looking at it. I would much rather say that every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow-creatures, and with itself.

I may repeat "do as you would be done by" until I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out until I love my neighbor as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself until I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God until I learn to obey Him.

Reading "the law of human nature" chapter and I gotta say, i am hooked!!

Book 3... I can't put it down, highly recommend! So many quotables!

"In it he presents a thinking person's Christianity, showing you don't have toditch your brain to be a Christian." -USMInc.

Really enjoying this book. Bringing some common sense to my faith. BTW America, you're doing it wrong—this "health and wealth theology" has to stop!

I love the chapter on forgiveness. If you ever wondered what God means by love your neighbor as yourself please read this chapter.
