Mere Christianity is C.S. Lewis' forceful and accessible doctrine of Christian belief. First heard as informal radio broadcasts and then published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality, Mere Christianity brings together what Lewis sees as the fundamental truths of the religion. Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity's many denominations, C.S. Lewis finds a common ground on which all those who have Christian faith can stand together, proving that "at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice".

It's hard to express how wonderful I found this to be. The content is great, and it is matched by the incredible narration. It's a stodgy British narration but it is perfect.
Listening to this, in my car, many times, truly changed my life.
CD 3 is far and away the best.
It is the best explanation of Christian behavior, how you are supposed to love your enemy, "the great sin" - pride, external actions vs. moral choices, and so much more.
My favorite quote: "all the worst sins are purely spiritual. . . and that is why a cold, self-righteous prig who goes often to church can be much closer to hell than a prostitute."
