Mandy Barber

“How to Be A Christian” helped answer some questions I’ve struggled with and also gave me fuel for more questions。 It comforted me in some areas and challenged me in others。 This collection of excerpts from C。S。 Lewis’s various books has inspired me to read more of them soon。

Carla P。 A。 De Marchi

⭐️ 4,5 Mais um ótimo livro do C。 S。 Lewis。 Sempre vale a pena, me ajudou a esclarecer algumas dúvidas。

Laísa Lemes

Este livro traz pinceladas de diversos temas relacionados ao Cristianismo, a partir da ótica de C。S。 Lewis。 É um livro interessante para quem nunca leu nada dele e quer começar。 Porém, por ser um apanhado de diversos textos/livros/entrevista de Lewis, nenhum tema é tratado em muita profundidade。

Tiago Monfardini

em forma de coletânea de vários textos do autor, o livro propõe a enraizar questão já presentes, é um ótimo livro para quem é novo na fé, mas também pra quem deixa passar alguns conceitos importantes a se manter no cristianismo。

Danny Lamonte

Great Intro/OverviewWhether you have been deeply impacted by Lewis or never read him, this collection provides a “greatest/deepest hits” to challenge and encourage the heart of the reader。

Milena Saraiva

Gosto muito do C。S。Lewis mas, não me empolguei muito com esse livro。 Fala de coisas muito importantes e que são sempre bom de serem relembradas, mas nada que me surpreendesse。

Nicole

I really enjoyed this book。 Each chapter is taken from a section from something of his writings (like Mere Christianity) and they all relate to trying to live as a Christian。 I loved certain chapters and I especially enjoyed ones that I had not read the works of yet, because they gave me a fresh perspective

Vitória Talyta

O livro é uma coletânea de vários textos do Lewis sobre o tema。 A organização foi muito boa。 Esse livro é ideal pra quem busca uma fonte por temas, tem o sobre oração e sobre leitura também。

I would’ve titled this book Musings on Christianity as it is hardly an extensive guide to Christianity。 But on my 2nd read through I enjoyed it just as much as the first! What struck me was the accuracy with which he described patterns in mankind that have developed further with the arrival of the Internet: Society’s obsession with the group over the individual, the benefits/pitfalls of political equality, Christianity remaining unchanged despite science and knowledge progressing。 Overall a real I would’ve titled this book Musings on Christianity as it is hardly an extensive guide to Christianity。 But on my 2nd read through I enjoyed it just as much as the first!

Lewis is like eating chocolate compared with much other Christian philosophical writing。 It has depth but is quite quickly understandable。 It is meaningful and not trite。 It is definitely easy to apply to your life。 Worth a go🌸

Steven Hart

A great collection of essays and excerpts from other Lewis' writings。 I had read about half of these before in other works, but I still found it useful as a kind of devotional reading。 A great collection of essays and excerpts from other Lewis' writings。 I had read about half of these before in other works, but I still found it useful as a kind of devotional reading。 。。。more

This is a beautiful book that explain in simple words the value and the process to be a Christian。 I was considering it a very good book (4 stars) until the last two chapters when it becomes a must reading, an amazing one。

Beth

Had read a few of the essays before but not all of them。Particularly liked: On Doubts and the Gift of Faith & On the Christian Art of Attaining Glory。"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because Gd has forgiven the inexcusable in you。""Our faith in Christ wavers not so much when real arguments come against it as when it looks improbable-when the whole world takes on that desolate look which really tells us much more about the state of our passions。。。than about reality。""I do not Had read a few of the essays before but not all of them。Particularly liked: On Doubts and the Gift of Faith & On the Christian Art of Attaining Glory。"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because Gd has forgiven the inexcusable in you。""Our faith in Christ wavers not so much when real arguments come against it as when it looks improbable-when the whole world takes on that desolate look which really tells us much more about the state of our passions。。。than about reality。""I do not believe that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it is a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will。" 。。。more

Nobody explains fundamental Christian concepts quite like C。S。 Lewis。 Would recommend for those new to Christianity, interested in Christianity or even for long-time Christians who want to reaffirm their foundations。

Josiah Sweetnam

I very much loved this book。 I am a huge fan of C。S。 Lewis, and even though I have previously read a few of these writings included on this book separately beforehand, I felt that the organization of it and the highlighting of specific topics was very well done。

Nina Hoppe

What wonderful reflections on the life Christ calls us to。

Dale Ann Edmiston

A little of this and that。 Not like reading Mere Christianity

Do you care for your family as you do strangers? The reality that there is temptation in the home was amazing to read on。 I think many people need to read this!!On the importance of practicing charityThis chapter was a bit of a wake up call for me。 It made me understand that my emotions and feelings have nothing to do with my duty to love people。 Liking someone is okay, but whether someone does me wrong or not I am required to love them。This was a great read。 Definitely would recommend it。 。。。more

This book is a collection of Lewis' essays from various works。 The publisher has selected essays around the general theme of practical Christianity。 So, this book is not what Lewis would have produced if he had set about the task of writing a book on the practical Christian life。 Setting that disappointment aside, we find here a great collection of essays Lewis did write and a transcribed interview of what Lewis did say。 So, maybe the next best thing。Lewis was a great thinker and writer。 He had This book is a collection of Lewis' essays from various works。 The publisher has selected essays around the general theme of practical Christianity。 So, this book is not what Lewis would have produced if he had set about the task of writing a book on the practical Christian life。 Setting that disappointment aside, we find here a great collection of essays Lewis did write and a transcribed interview of what Lewis did say。 So, maybe the next best thing。Lewis was a great thinker and writer。 He had a knack for putting things well。 He had a way of taking something very familiar, changing the familiar perspective, and putting it across improvingly。 Any mention of Lewis sends certain ones of the population running to fetch their aluminum foil caps to prevent any of Lewis' alien waves from entering their brains。 Lewis had his theological problems。 He could write a brilliant and beautiful passage and sometimes follow it with a brilliantly ugly passage。 Only advertising his shortcomings is to whip a straw horse。Spurgeon had many critics in his day。 They often complained about his girth, the hair on his face, and at least one old lady nearly fainted when she heard something akin to humor in one of his sermons。 Those journalists and church marms could always have exercised their personal rights of locomotion and declined to attend Spurgeon's preaching。 。。。more

This was a good read simply because it pulled from a variety of Lewis's works, consolidating them into a book that addresses many topics Christians often think about such as our concern for others' salvation, living expectantly, how we treat others and ourselves, our roles in the church, and one of my favorites from the book, "The Christian Art of Attaining Glory。" As always, Lewis addresses these topics from his unique angle with his remarkably clear metaphors。 For those looking for a tailored This was a good read simply because it pulled from a variety of Lewis's works, consolidating them into a book that addresses many topics Christians often think about such as our concern for others' salvation, living expectantly, how we treat others and ourselves, our roles in the church, and one of my favorites from the book, "The Christian Art of Attaining Glory。" As always, Lewis addresses these topics from his unique angle with his remarkably clear metaphors。 For those looking for a tailored book on how to be a Christian from one of the wittiest and wisest Christian philosophers of our time, this may be a great place to start。 。。。more

So full of wisdom。 Cannot fathom what a deep thinker and amazingly insightful man he was。 I will read this more than once!

Chad King

This is a collection of selected chapters and essays from Lewis's earlier writings, mainly "God in the Dock," "Mere Christianity," and "The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses。" The selected material is good but there's nothing new, so if you've read much of Lewis then you'll likely have ready everything in this volume already。 It would be an excellent introduction to his writings for someone that isn't already familiar with him。 This is a collection of selected chapters and essays from Lewis's earlier writings, mainly "God in the Dock," "Mere Christianity," and "The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses。" The selected material is good but there's nothing new, so if you've read much of Lewis then you'll likely have ready everything in this volume already。 It would be an excellent introduction to his writings for someone that isn't already familiar with him。 。。。more

I love reading C S Lewis’s views on Christianity。 It really makes me think。 Wish I had someone to discuss this with。
