Discipleship with C.S. Lewis: A Guide to Mere Christianity for Small Groups and Mentoring Relationships by Joel Woodruff

In Discipleship with C.S. Lewis, Dr. Joel Woodruff, President of the C.S. Lewis Institute has provided a practical guide to understanding and living out the core teachings and practices of the Christian faith through short readings from the Bible and C.S. Lewis's classic, Mere Christianity. Perfect for use by believers and seekers alike, it has been designed for use in mentoring relationships and small group settings. Discipleship with C.S. Lewis, as opposed to more academic or apologetics-oriented studies of Mere Christianity, is written with a view toward practical Christian discipleship of heart and mind. Mere Christianity, named the most influential Christian book of the 20th century by Christianity Today, has often been used as an apologetics and evangelistic tool, but at its core it is a discipleship training manual for followers of Jesus Christ. This engaging study will help participants develop an understanding of the biblical passages behind the main themes and ideas presented in Lewis's writing. Participants will be encouraged to apply the takeaways in each session through concrete steps that influence their daily lives and help them become more faithful and fruitful disciples of Jesus Christ. If C.S. Lewis were present with us today, he would probably take great pleasure knowing that his writings on "mere Christianity" continue to train men and women to spread the love and good news of the Gospel in the midst of "enemy-occupied territory."
