A volume comparable in style to Cliff's Notes, here highlighting the key points from C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity.

Shepherd's Notes- Christian Classics Series is designed to give readers a quick, step by step overview of some of the enduring treasures of the Christian faith. They are designed to be used along side the classic itself- either in individual study or in a study group. The faithful of all generations have found spiritual nourishment in the Scriptures and in the works of Christians of earlier generations. Martin Luther and John Calvin would not have become who they were apart from their reading Augustine. God used the writings of Martin Luther to move John Wesley from a religion of dead works to an experience at Aldersgate in which his "heart was strangely warmed." Shepherd's Notes will give pastors, laypersons, and students access to some of the treasures of Christian faith.

Mere Christianity Journal is the ideal companion to Mere Christianity -- the beloved classic of Christian literature and the bestselling of all of Lewis's adult works. This reader's journal is a celebration of one of Lewis's most popular and influential works. By serving as a thoughtful guide to further meditation on the central issues Lewis raises, this journal provides Lewis readers with a guide for deeper reflection. The journal includes an elegant interior design, ample quotes from Mere Christianity, thoughtful questions centered on Lewis's wise words and plenty of room for reader's thoughts and ideas.

A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis's books. Uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together.

C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity has been read by millions of people over the last six decades. Not surprisingly, it is most popular with Christians who see it as demonstrating the reasonableness of Christianity. However, if we follow the advice of philosophy and objectively apply our innate God-given reason to the arguments Lewis puts forward for Christianity, we soon see they are painfully lacking. No matter how hard Lewis attempts to unite innate God-given reason and Christianity, he fails. An Answer to C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity helps the reader to realize not only the absurdity of Lewis' arguments, but it points the reader to a much more profound appreciation of God and of God's gift to us of innate reason. This book is a great instrument to use to help you make the very important and real distinction between God and religion.

For centuries people have been tormented by one question above all – ‘If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?’ And what of the suffering of animals, who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it?

As a Christian parent, the author, D Joseph "Ren" Remington, wanted to teach his seven-year-old daughter about being part of the Christian Family. To that end, he considered the catechisms used by various denominations and found them all lacking for his purpose. They all struck Ren to be a series of stilted questions with answers that a child would never give except for rote memorization which didn't strike him as very "natural". The inadequacy of such catechisms for teaching the Christian Faith to children today is highlighted by some very sobering statistics. One study has shown that 40-50% of children from "good families" and involved in youth groups will drift away from God after they leave high school. Other researchers say as many as 80% of such believers will drift away from God by the age 29. As someone who's actually been tested by the heathen/pagan/atheist masses, Ren believes the larger part of the problem is that the kids today just aren't being prepared to execute St. Peter's exhortation to "be ready with answers for the reason for our hope" (1Pt 3:15). The issue is an unhealthy reliance on assumptions - assumptions that those outside forces won't necessarily share. For instance, how do we know God exists? "Because the Bible tells me so" isn't going to cut it when today's kids run into skeptics that will tear such reasoning to philosophical shreds. So then, Ren took it upon himself to come up with a more structured approach to his daughter's upbringing in the Christian Family. Over the course of three months, he had a series of thirteen 5-10 minute conversations with her about God and Church. Ren used CS Lewis' approach to explaining Christianity because he wants his daughter to have it "written upon her heart" (Heb 10:16) and not just a bunch of regurgitated memory verses. As a result, book is called "Mere Christianity: For Kids" as a nod to C.S. Lewis. It is Ren's fervent hope that all readers, adult and child, learn something here as God desires for everyone to genuinely seek to know him better and his will for us.
