by Kenneth Boa (1975)
Tries to answer the tough questions, how can God be one yet three? How can I have free will if God controls everything? How can God be everywhere all at the same time? If God is Love why is there evil, suffering? This and other questions the author attempts to answer.

C.S. Lewis
First broadcast as informal radio "talks" and later published as three separate books, The Case for Christianity, Christian Behaviour, and Beyond Personality are presented together in Mere Christianity. In his remarkably direct and accessible style, the renowned Christian apologist shows how the power of Christianity manifests itself -- not in any single denomination but as "mere" Christianity, a total force. For Lewis sets out to prove only that "in the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergencies of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice." - Back cover.

This book has been written not for the theologians and philosophers but for the man in the street. My purpose is to give him a clear understanding of a new way of life that was presented by an unknown Galilean two thousand years ago. I have endeavored to present it in the language of the common man, that "the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." I have tried to avoid those controversial subjects that have so often divided great segments of the Christian Church from each other but, on the other hand, I have not bargained, parlayed, or compromised my concept of the Christian faith. My object is not to get you to a particular denomination or church but to get you to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to encourage, strengthen, and build up the Christian in the most holy faith. - Preface.
Larry Osborne
People don't set out to build their faith upon myths and spiritual urban legends. But somehow such falsehoods keep showing up in the way that many Christians think about life and God. These goofy ideas and beliefs are assumed by millions to be rock-solid truth . . . until life proves they're not. The sad result is often a spiritual disaster--confusion, feelings of betrayal, a distrust of Scripture, loss of faith, anger toward both the church and God. But it doesn't have to be so. In this delightfully personal and practical book, respected Bible teacher Larry Osborne confronts ten widely held beliefs that are both dumb and dangerous. Beliefs like these:- Faith can fix anything- God brings good luck- Forgiving means forgetting- Everything happens for a reason- A godly home guarantees good kids...and more.Get ready to be shocked, relieved, and inspired in the pages of Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. Because the truth is meant to set us free . . . not hurt us.From the Trade Paperback edition.
