Make no mistake, this is only a small portion of the bestseller by CS Lewis, MERE CHRISTIANITY. CS Lewis started life as an indifferent Church of Ireland member, converted to atheism in his mid-teens, and finally converted to Christianity "kicking and screaming (he was a very reluctant convert)." Later in life, he became a member of the Church of England and remained so for the rest of his life.
Lewis says in this tiny volume that he has no intention of telling his readers which denomination of Christianity to choose, that is up to the conscience of each person. His desire, in this book, is to explain the rightness of Christianity (versus atheism). The amazing thing about Lewis is that he speaks with such clarity and logic, in this day of hyperbole and confusion. He explains the difference between Pantheism and Christianity, between Dualism and Christianity.
In "The Shocking Alternative," Lewis gives the most profound explanation of God's will vs. our Free Will I've ever read. Overall, this is a moving treatise on Christianity.
