Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…

Now as Christian people however, it should be easy for us too. But, after…

    1. Share your observations and impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S.

When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity. But, as I…
