UPDATED (7/21/18) – The Misquotable C.S. Lewis is my book that examines 75 quotations attributed to Lewis that I caution you not to share. Some are falsely attributed to him, others are paraphrases of his words, and a few have context issues. Don’t share a quote attributed to Lewis unless you can confirm he wrote it and the meaning …

Saying Mere Christianity is a book that has influence millions of people would not only be obvious, but also an understatement! Yet, despite it’s nearly universal appeal, there are those who have difficulty “getting into it.” This might be because the material is over 70 years old (they were first radio talks in the 1940’s) and they …
