It's Mere Christianity
I really dig this book by C.S. Lewis. I can see why people who may not have believed in God convert to Christianity because of this book. Lewis was an atheist before, and you can really tell with his writing that he thought a lot about his ideas and why he actually believes in Christianity. I really enjoyed his flow. His flow is very technical, logical, and almost mathematical. His writing reminds me of old complex proofs from college. But similar to very good thinkers, teachers, mathematicians, and problem solvers, Lewis gives awesome practical examples and metaphors for the complex and abstract ideas he is trying to either prove or disprove.
I really enjoy his chapter on pride. For Lewis, pride is when a person looks down on another person because that person thinks he/she is better, cleverer, financially more stable, or has more stuff than the next person. But for Lewis, he eludes to the fact that when a person looks down on another person, that person rarely realizes that there is a bigger person looking down at you, namely God who is looking down at you!
I remember C.S. Lewis from his Chronicles of Narnia books. But his Christianity books are really interesting and make you think. Anyways, I definitely suggest the book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Here are some books I have read/still reading this year.
Mere Christianity
Memoirs of a Geisha
God's Politics
World According to Garp
The Windblown World: The Journals Of Jack Kerouac 1947-1954
When the Enemy Strikes : The Keys to Winning Your Spiritual Battles
Naked Lunch
Enjoy,
Jonathan
