C.S. Lewis & Mere Christianity

Mere Christianity - a brilliant book, written by C.S. Lewis, otherwise known as Jack Lewis.  Never before have I read a book on the experience of Christianity that relates so deeply to my own, where the depth of our faith is expressed through images that make sense to me.  I relate to his philosophical mindset, and appreciate his sound arguments, though I admit having to read each chapter twice.  I thought of so many people whom it would undoubtedly benefit if they had the desire to pursue an understanding of Christianity to the depth which C.S. Lewis promises. 

There is plenty of information there that has my mind reeling with excitement for the enlightenment it has already given me, and I am not even halfway through the book.  So intellectually acute, it serves me well.  It is honestly feeding my intellect in a way it has always desired to be fed - being neither too simple nor too challenging.  Its level of difficulty is just right, pushing me into another realm of thinking without leaving me out, indeed like a man who stands on a riverbank with one foot in the river and the other on the bank, helping me out.

Of course this analogy itself comes from his book, Mere Christianity, dare I claim it as my own.  But if it has done nothing else for me, it has confirmed to me the depth of our faith, and the depth of Jesus Christ.  It is not simple.  It is not easy.  And it is wonderful to have someone try to explain the logic of Christianity without taking away its beauty.
