Mere Christianity C S Lewis Kathleen Norris 9780060652920 Books Reviews

• Mere Christianity is a GREAT book, but DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION.
  - It has NO text justification so that each line is a random length and many lines are a single word (see picture)
  - It has NO paragraph spaces, chapter headings, or page numbers
  - It has weird text at the start for what appears to be a digital version of the book (see photos)
  
  It looks like someone copied all the text from a webpage, put in a document and just hit "print" without any editing or formatting or anything. DO NOT BUY this version.
• Please do not order this book, the formatting, spelling, grammar is not representative of the original text. It's as if someone retyped the book and bound it. You will be completely frustrated if you purchase this item, totally unreadable. Please find another supplier for the original book .
• As someone else has already said, whatever this version or specific seller this is looks like garbage and looks like it was printed and bound by somebody in their basement after printing out the text file from a torrent. There's no publisher info, at all. I wish I would have looked at this more closely as soon as I got it, as it stands now it's likely too late.
  
  Go buy this classic somewhere else.
• I did not realize this was a 'print on demand' version when I ordered...but it soon became apparent
  The book is horribly formatted it is missing breaks, indentations, chapter headings, etc. There is no variation in font or type size to distinguish between sections...it looks as though the text were copy-pasted into an editing program (which was not used to edit) and printed.
  I have included a couple of photos to illustrate what I am complaining about.
  This shabbiness has rendered a classic unreadable. 1 star for the low price only.
• It is difficult to limit my excitement about this classic work by C.S. Lewis. I first read the book while in college and now I am taking several fellows through the book in a small group setting. It is a timeless classic that is as true today as when it was originally penned by Lewis as a series of talks given in London over the BBC during the challenging days of WW2. One must remember the historical setting when they read through the work. Because this is a compilation of a series of talks, Lewis did not assume that the people who heard his first series of lectures necessarily heard the lectures in the second series. As a result, one might think he is mildly repetitive. As you work through this great book take some time to digest the material in each chapter and reflect upon the material that Lewis covers and the thoroughness of his argument and perspectives. The book is a chronology of the thinking processes Lewis went through as his spiritual journey traveled from atheism and reluctantly to Theism and ultimately to Christianity. It is amazingly refreshing and valid for any reader. One thing I have discovered about Lewis is that he typically packs more into one sentence than most authors do in a paragraph. I cannot recommend this work high enough.
• it looks like this book was typed and printed out by an eight year old on his mom's laserjet printer. Sentences stop after a few words and are continued on the next line. EVERYTHING is left-aligned making it difficult to read. Extremely disappointed.
• The content of the book is great. One of the best arguments for the Christian faith of all time. But this version is unreadable. The entire book is unformatted--from the table of contents to the end. Lines are broken into tiny pieces and there are not breaks between paragraphs. Worst book print job I have ever seen. Unless you want to be disappointed, leave this version alone.
• C.S. Lewis builds Christian doctrine from the ground up, for both believers and non-believers alike. He does not assume that a reader already knows x or believes y. He expertly (and extensively) uses metaphor to help mere humans understand the incomprehensible facts about God.
  
  For the non-believer, it is a great opportunity to get a bare-bones explanation of everything Christians believe. For the believer, it is a great help in understanding why you believe what you believe. Many Christians, without really realizing it, believe things without knowing why. Lewis's explanation of Christian doctrine from the ground up helps the Christian fill in the blank parts of their theological understanding.
  
  There is not one single day in which an idea from this book doesn't pass through my mind, and I use logic from the book on a regular basis to explain what I believe and why. I would highly recommend this book.
