 The
Chronicles of Narnia BOXED SET by C.S. Lewis
The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets
of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood,
and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world
in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more
than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly
realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical,
the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil,
faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.
 Mere
Christianity by C. S. Lewis
This is a forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that
has become one of the most popular introductions into Christianity and

uncovers common ground upon which all those who have Christian faith can
stand together.
 Six
by Lewis by C. S. Lewis

the 20th century's premier Christian apologist. This special six-book collection
includes The Abolition of Man, a defense of objective morality, which comprises
the basis of his Christian apologetics; The Great Divorce, a Christian
perspective on Heaven and Hell; Miracles, an examination of the possibility
and probability of the miraculous; The Problem of Pain, an in-depth look
at the tough issue of human suffering; The Screwtape Letters, a fictional
discussion between two demons illustrating the frailties of the human conscience;
and Mere Christianity, Lewis's crowning achievement, a rational defense
of Christianity.
