-
Story
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.

Story
C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside.

In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

Story
Both astonishing and prophetic, The Abolition of Man remains one of C. S. Lewis's most controversial works. Lewis sets out to persuade his audience of the ongoing importance and relevance of universal objective values, such as courage and honor, and the foundational necessity of natural law. He also makes a cogent case that a retreat from these pillars of our educational system, even if in the name of "scientism", would be catastrophic. National Review lists it as number seven on their "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century".

In the form of warm, relaxed letters to a close friend, C. S. Lewis meditates on many puzzling questions concerning the intimate dialogue between man and God. He considers practical and metaphysical aspects of prayer, such as when we pray and where. He questions why we seek to inform God in our prayers if he is omniscient, whether there is an ideal form of prayer, and which of our many selves we show to God while praying.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

"Geoffrey Howard's performance is superb; he is clear and unhurried, giving just the right emphasis and/or inflection....Whether or not one agrees with Lewis's arguments, it is a pleasure to hear such a skillful reading of an eloquent work." (Library Journal)

Suppose you could ask God the most puzzling questions about existence, and God would provide clear, understandable answers? It happened to Neale Donald Walsch. Conversations with God is Neale Donald Walsch's account of his direct conversations with God, beginning in 1992 while Walsch was immersed in a period of deep depression. He composed a letter to God in which he vented his frustrations, and much to his surprise, even shock, God answered him.

Story
During the first three decades of the 20th century, eugenics, the scientific control of human breeding, was a popular cause within enlightened and progressive segments of the English-speaking world. This prophetic volume counters the intellectual nihilism of Nietzsche, while simultaneously rebuking Western notions of progress - biological or otherwise. Chesterton expands his criticism of eugenics into what he calls "a more general criticism of the modern craze for scientific officialism and strict social organization."

The Gay Science (The Joyful Wisdom) is one of Nietzsche's greatest books. His wonderfully fertile mind roams over mankind, his thoughts, his emotions, his behaviour and his weaknesses with remarkable clarity, with insight - but also with humour!In this work are 383 separate paragraphs, some short, some long, but all singular observations - the epitome of his famous aphoristic style. 'Morality is the herd instinct in the individual.'

"What must I do to gain eternal life?” The rich man who asked this of Jesus was told to sell all he had and give to the poor. But, more importantly, he was told, “Come, follow me!” Franciscan Casey Cole challenges us to let go of something more difficult than material wealth: expectations, anxiety, comfort, wounds, enemies, power - and our very selves. Speaking from both personal and pastoral experience, he outlines the stumbling blocks that turn us away from following Jesus as true disciples. The response to “What must I do?” is simple but not easy: Let go. Now.

In this important book, G.K. Chesterton offers a remarkably perceptive analysis of social and moral issues, even more relevant today than in his own time. With a light, humorous tone but a deadly serious philosophy, he comments on errors in education, on feminism vs. true womanhood, on the importance of the child, and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters’ assaults on the common man and the family.

C. S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about Heaven and Hell - and the chasm fixed between them - is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, where we discover that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

This Book will change your life!
Where does Mere Christianity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is not only the best audio book I have ever listened to, it is the best book I have ever read. This is the powerful work of an honest genius. We as a people have been blessed buy the integrity and talent of this man. I wish I could have spent an hour talking to him, but the next best thing is reading this book, or listening to it. After listening to the book I bought a copy, and gave my kids a copy.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Mere Christianity?
How C.S. Lewis reasoned his way to the knowledge that Christ was really who he said he was. How CS came to the faith in Christ at an advanced age rather than as a Child.
Have you listened to any of Geoffrey Howard’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is a good telling of the book.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book made me take 9 graduate courses in apologetics and read or listen to 150 books and papers on the topic and listen to hundreds of hours of lectures and debates. This is an amazing work.

If you could sum up Mere Christianity in three words, what would they be?
Inspiring, Eye Opening
Any additional comments?
I regret that I did not go ahead and listen to this book before now. Of course there are differences of opinion on some minor points, but Mr. Lewis had a God given talent to explain things that open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about a subject that you may not have considered. My only regret now is that there is not ten stars to rate this book, because in my humble opinion this book is twice the book of most good books.

Mandatory Reading
The narration of this audio book was superb. But fair more important is the excellent content. Mere Christianity should be mandatory reading for all Christians. Christian High School teachers should incorporate it into their literature and/or Bible curriculum. Moreover, Christian colleges should not abandon this tried and true book. Lewis was an apologist for God and the gospel before the title was popular to adopt and before students could major in Apologetics. I have read the book several times and got more out of again through the audio book.

Must read for any Christian
I am so glad that I chose to listen to this book. I have known of it for years, ever since I first became a believer, and yet haven't been able to get myself to read it. Listening was the perfect balance. I think C.S. Lewis does a phenomenal job of breaking down the Christian faith in a way that will speak to any reader, and call you out in a way which makes you want to pursue a stronger relationship with the Lord.

CS Lewis is a master at explaining the logic behind the faith. His background as an atheist and a philosophy and Greek studies provides a strong evidence for the gospel.

Mere Christianity: Simplifiying the Bottom Line
Would you consider the audio edition of Mere Christianity to be better than the print version?
I believe that the narrator of Mere Christianity, Mr. Geoffrey Howard, has done a good job in tone and inflection to reflect accurately what C.S. Lewis was getting at in this book. However, being slightly prone to a bad response to being
If you’ve listened to books by C.S. Lewis before, how does this one compare?
I love the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis both print and audio versions; as these are fantasy books and the narrator generally has a gentle voice, the kind a child would love to hear at bedtime.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The moment that moved me particularly in this book was when C.S. Lewis spelled out, clearly and simply (and rather unarguably) what, exactly, Christianity is; what it believes at it's core. I think that it has much value just on that alone.
Any additional comments?
C.S. Lewis comes at the question of what exactly is Christianity in a very logical, very pragmatic way, which is different than what most of us are used to. That is what drew me to this book. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't bothered by a little preaching.

Very good piece of Christian literature
It's nothing revolutionary to the faith, but it wasn't trying to be. It is supposed to be a bare-bones look at what Christianity is as defined by scripture, and it does a very good job at being that. C.S. Lewis takes a very real look at what Christians are supposed to be in a way that challenges those who are Christians to examine themselves before Biblical truth, and gives those who are not associated with Christianity some very interesting things to think about. A few points I disagreed with, but nothing to a degree where I would not recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Christianity.
