In these classic essays, which began as talks on the BBC during World War II, Lewis creatively and simply explains the basic tenets of Christianity. Taken from the core section of Mere Christianity, this book provides an accessible way for people to discover these timeless truths. For those looking to remind themselves of what they hold true, or those looking for a snapshot of Christianity, this book is a wonderful introduction to the faith.

A great listen for critics and Christians alike
Reviewed: 03-24-22
CS Lewis does a great job of simply but clearly stating what Christians believe. I think this is a very important book. People that are thinking about pursuing the Christian faith, criticizing the Christian faith, or practicing the Christian faith already, should all equally read this book. As a Christian myself, I was challenged by several of the things stated in this book and it helped clarify some of the things that I do believe. It also gives me the tools to better talk to somebody who has questions or criticisms for christianity.

Good read, well narrated.
Reviewed: 11-19-21
This is a fun book. Somewhat of a morality tale, but enjoyable all the same. Silas is interesting character. Maybe one of the few single parents closely depicted in literature. The ending was not predictable and the narration was very well done. I may come back and listen to it again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,513
This epic novel by master writer James Clavell, loosely based on the Namamugi Incident and Anglo-Satsuma War that took place in the late 1800s, is a richly researched, panoramic view of Japan’s budding relationship with the Western powers, its sweeping societal changes, and the political upheaval that followed.

Reader John Lee is Perfect but not Enough

Compared to Taipan and Shogun this was mediocre.
Reviewed: 07-30-20
Shogun in Taipan are epic books by the same author. This book was much less engaging. In addition, the performance was not as compelling. This may be due to the lack of depth and relation to some of the characters. The voices of all the Japanese characters sounded very similar. Also some of the Japanese word pronunciation was incorrect. If you don't speak Japanese then that won't bother you. This book was just okay. I'm glad I finished it, but I'm also glad it's over.
