Why Get This Book

For the friend who has honest questions, or the believer who wants to know why they believe. These began as informal radio talks during wartime, and Lewis's style is direct and easy to follow. Three short books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behaviour and Beyond Personality, come together to show the core that Christians share across denominations, the Someone at the center who "speaks with the same voice." It's a great book to read with a skeptical teen or coworker. Honest note: it's mid-century British in tone, so some passages take a second read. Next step: read 1 Peter 3:15 and pick one chapter to discuss with someone.
