From the back cover: "First broadcast as informal radio "talks" and later published as three separate books, 'The Case for Christianity,' 'Christian Behaviour,' and 'Beyond Personality' are presented together in 'Mere Christianity.' In his remarkably direct and accessible style, the renowned Christian apologist shows how the power of Christianity manifests itself - not in any single denomination but as 'mere' Christianity, a total force. For Lewis sets out to prove only that 'in the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergencies of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice."

I read this book about a decade ago for college, but remember very little about it. What I do know is, C.S. Lewis knew how to write well and presented his subject matter in an interesting way, lending his unique voice to any topic he tackled.
