Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

When you envision heaven, what fills you with the most anticipation? Is it the redemption of your body, being free from pain and suffering?

Excerpts:“Aslan is not a tame lion.”“Courage, dear heart.”“Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.”

Excerpts:“The gospel is not just the ABCs of Christianity, but the A to Z.”“The extravagant, spendthrift love of God is the most profound reality in the universe.”“The gospel is not religion or irreligion, morality or immorality, moralism or relativism, conservatism or liberalism. It is something else entirely.”

Excerpts:“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”“To know God is at once the easiest and the most difficult thing in the world.”“God is not a cosmic bellboy for whom we can press a button to get things done.”

Excerpts:“The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.”“God is not a concept to be discussed; He is a person to be loved.”“The heart is the connecting point, the meeting place between any two persons.”

Excerpts:“Just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn’t mean I orchestrate the tragedies.”“Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person’s throat.”“The real underlying flaw in your life is that you don’t think that I am good.”
