C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity is a sharp, imaginative walk through the core of the Christian faith, told by a man who didn’t start out believing.

I loved Lewis’s own journey to faith and the way he writes to stir the imagination—using clear logic, everyday examples, and memorable images that make big ideas feel close and compelling. It’s thoughtful, warm, and a great read for anyone wanting a fresh, honest look at what Christians believe and why it matters.
