C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity"

Has anyone here read C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity"? If so, what did you think?

BTW this was the book that caused Francis Collins, the head of the Human Genome project, to be saved.

I haven't read it, CS Lewis

I haven't read it, CS Lewis sounds like a waste of time based on what I've heard about his arguments.

Here's an old RRS thread about it.

It obviously wasn't a waste

It obviously wasn't a waste of time to the many who consider it a classic, along with Francis Collins.

Are you implying that if

Are you implying that if most consider it a classic, it's not a waste of time? Appeal to the masses is invalid. Citing Francis Collins makes it an appeal to authority.

(The God Delusion and other atheist books have also been bestsellers, too.)
