Mere Christianity
by C. S. Lewis
Lewis had been an atheist since his teens and came back to belief at thirty-two. Ten years later the BBC put him on air, and this is what he said — a don at a microphone explaining to a frightened country what Christians of every kind have actually held in common. He argues; he does not preach. The moral law, the case against calling Christ merely a good teacher, what the thing costs once you believe it. It is also the book a friend handed Chuck Colson in 1973, which is how one of these lives reached another.
