The C. S. Lewis Signature Classics: An Anthology of 8 C. S. Lewis Titles: Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, Miracles, The Great Divorce, The ... The Abolition of Man, and The Four Loves

Highly recommend CS Lewis

All in one volume… A great value!

C.S. Lewis’ ability to grasp Orthodox Theology and then turn around and explain it to the average layman is truly unparalleled. I write most of my reviews on Amazon with a degree of levity, but here, I’m being completely sincere. This book is wonderful and has changed my view of the Christian faith, in fact, it was very much fundamental in my journey from Agnosticism to full-blown, unhampered Christian belief. This is by no means a strictly theological text (see Mere Christianity, the Abolition of Man, or The Problem of Pain for something like that) but it is not a secular novel either, no, not in the slightest. Much like Lewis accomplished with the Screwtape Letters and the Narnia series, he has found a way to mend religious faith and rich story telling. I could go on and on and on about this book but let me just give you the skinny here: buy this book. The prospect of saving your soul, even if this is just a small supplement, is worth infinitely more than the few dollars they are asking for here.

My husband loves the compilation of these books. The convenience of having all them in one is nice. The cover is a little flimsy from lots of use, but that's to be expected with a paper bag. It has never ripped it just gets thin and flimsy.

This book changed my life, like all great books do.I spent the most time in Mere Christianity, of course, but one of the books included that really touched me was “A Grief Observed”, about when he lost his wife to cancer. It will make you cry, and grieve, it’s grittily honest and, like a serrated knife, it cuts the deeper the further you go. If you’ve ever read “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”, at least in the last decade or so, then it reminded me of the epilogue, or update, for that book. Pirsig lost his son to homicide about 10 years after the book was written and his grief in that writing is cathartic. If you’ve ever lost anyone close to you, and especially if you questioned your faith at that time, then this is a great book to read. As for Mere Christianity, it’s a classic apologist book and if you enjoy it, then read GK Chesterton. Kindred souls…

Bought as gift for my daughter, who is enjoying it immensely. Binding seems well made.

The back flap has been cut with scissors and was placed as a bookmark within the book. Services from this company have been horrible whom the last years. All books I receive are damaged. I’m not longer buying books from Amazon.

My daughter-in-law loves this author and his nonfiction work. This is going to be a great Christmas present.
