Mere Christianity
by C. S. Lewis
Lewis's wartime radio talks: the moral law as evidence, what Christians believe, Christian behaviour (including the famous chapters on pride and forgiveness), and the doctrine of the Trinity made plain. The most influential work of popular Christian apologetics in English, and a model of clear argument whatever you conclude.

Three things you will actually use
- Pride is the complete anti-God state of mind.
- Do not waste time wondering whether you love your neighbour; act as if you did.
- Aim at heaven and you get earth thrown in.
Do this first
Read Book III, 'Christian Behaviour', especially 'The Great Sin'.
Our verdict
Argument, made plain.
