Mere Christianity

[Tibby]

Any fans of Mere Christianity?

[Willowbirch]

It is a powerful book!  

[Tibby]

Yes it is!

No one else read it?!?!

Maybe they should make it into a movie

Maybe C.S. Lewis should have written “Mere Christianity” like the Left behind Series. Looks like people are more into reading poorly written, Gnostic propaganda with a cheap escapist plot then reading a quality piece of literature that has changed the lives and mindsets of people the word over!  

So Willow, what is your favorite part, and why?

C.S. Lewis's writing, even in his childrens' literature, is so sharply truthful and surprising, that it would be hard to pick just one part. I laugh or shiver at something in every chapter.

I like this, though:

(Regarding skeptics who don't believe the devil is real, and want to know what he looks like)
If anybody really wants to know him better I would say to that person, "Don't worry. If you really want to, you will. Whether you'll like it when you do is another question."

haha.

I like his part about "turning the other cheek." He makes a good point. If you where standing between a killer and person he wishes to kill, would the christian thing be to phycially stop him, or to step aside and "turn the other cheek."

I’m rereading it, now The reason I asked is that one of the Professors, and a counselor for the Keinsology majors gave one of my friends, another keins major, (who hasn’t been to church in years) a copy of the book. And he LOVES what he reads. All his like he has always heard Baptistianity, but this book is really opening his eyes to the truth of it all. We work together, too, and he knows I’m studying to be a Priest, so we have a lot of time to talk about it all this stuff. So exciting. witnessing to strangers is one thing, but when you are face to face with a friend, and you have a hand in leading someone you love to the Lord, it is so amazing. Between me, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Lewis, I think we have a good chance of bringing him to God.
