Mere Christianity

My fantasy football league is going to read C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity together.  Since we will not meet weekly, the intention is for this blog to serve as a forum for discussion.  Since I get asked by people periodically about a book club, I'm opening this online forum up to any who wish to participate in our discussions.   If you are unfamiliar with C.S. Lewis he was actually an atheist who converted to Christianity as an adult.  He was Oxford educated and kept company with contemporary J. R. R. Tolkien.  Mere Christianity is Lewis' greatest apologetic work, defending the basics of Christian doctrine.  The book is actually a compilation of broadcast talks given by Lewis on the radio during WWII.  I know it will be an interesting read and will compel some lively discussion.  

Stay tuned for a start date (sometime in the next two weeks).  For now, get the book!  Locally, you can check the library or any bookstore.  I have some online links below.
