Sometimes a customer review says it best:

“David, Thank you so much, I truly love your interpretation of CS Lewis. I am currently taking a free online course from Hillsdale College on CS Lewis. When I first started reading his books, I did read the entire book, but felt like a middle-aged intellectual boob. What was I thinking that I could even complete a course like this with such a deep philosophical author?
I wondered how many times I would have to re-read the book, or how many trips to my online dictionary I would have to make, till I understood the full philosophical work in the book. Then, out of sheer luck, I was scrolling the web and YOUR books popped up. So I searched to find one and vavoom, I understood.
You were God sent!!!!! And I mean that with all my heart. I was so frustrated with the words and just the lack of Everyday English that I was almost ready to give up on the whole endeavour of becoming a more educated person in his writings.
Thank you again for taking the time to write these books so folks like me could have a greater understanding.” D.   C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity in Everyday English

C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity is recognized as one of the most persuasive works of Christian apologetics in the twentieth century. Yet its mid-century British idioms can be a barrier for modern readers.

In this edition, David O. Harrison faithfully renders Lewis’s arguments in clear, contemporary English, allowing Lewis’s logical precision and theological insights to shine without distraction. Harrison’s own journey—from skeptic to believer—mirrors Lewis’s, making him a natural guide for today’s audience.

This reworking preserves the intellectual rigour and timeless wisdom of Lewis’s original text while making it accessible to students, seekers, and serious readers alike. More than seventy years after its initial publication, Mere Christianity remains a timeless challenge to minds and a transformative influence on lives.
