Summary
2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. The book is comprised of the legendary radio talks which he gave during the war years.
Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from the war years; talks in which he set out simply to ‘"explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."
Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, C. S. Lewis provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. This scintillating collection confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writers and thinkers of our age.

Really good read !!
What made the experience of listening to Mere Christianity the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed the insight that C.S. Lewis has into the Christian life and is not afraid of using his intellect to get that across.
What did you like best about this story?
I like the way that C.S.Lewis always relates his faith to the real world.
What does Geoffrey Howard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The human voice narrating a story brings a new dimension to the storytelling process compared to if you just read the book.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Jesus, as relevant today as He was yesterday.

No chapters. Free on YouTube (with chapters)
A great book, but this exact same recording is free on YouTube, and has links to the sections and chapters which Audible, either due to negligence or a bug, bafflingly lacks.

Help to understand
Where does Mere Christianity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
As it is only my second book and the other was not good, this is the best I have heard.
Any additional comments?
This book helps Christians and non Christians to really look into why it makes sense to believe in God.The writer goes into real life things that can be used as proof of God. Great writing and delivered very well.

Brain ache
I was really keen to read C S Lewis' work as I had heard so many good things about his take on Christianity. The reviews also supported this. What a disappointment! Not only did his ideas seem so outdated but, with his reference to homosexuality being wrong and his use of a derogatory word to describe a black person, I found it difficult and offensive to listen to. The non stop narration without notable breaks in the chapters gave the experience an unnecessary intensity. As a Christian myself wanting to learn more, I found this book off putting and I certainly will not be recommending it to my non Christian friends.

Worth reading regardless on your religious disposition
Really good book, the philosophical and moral angle CS Lewis uses at the beginning of the book is refreshing and helpful. If you're a Christian it allows to see things from a philosophical and very relatable point of view that you can share with non-christians and other christians alike. Towards the later half of the books Lewis's thoughts on sexual desire are interesting.

Overflowing with fallacious thinking
Take nothing away from the narrator who reads with passion and clarity. Unfortunately the content is brimming with false dichotomies and baseless assertions. C.S.Lewis does love an analogy, but unfortunately, they're often imperfect and certainly not convincing when undergoing fairly simple scrutiny.
