I liked the metaphor he uses to explain the purpose of the lectures: to bring people into the hallway of a great house. He's evangelizing for Christianity and not a particular denomination. Well worth reading.

Mere Christianity really opened my eyes to Christianity and what it's all about. I took so many notes while reading it that I've decided to buy a copy of my own. The book was very well written and mostly easy to understand. I had trouble…
