Imagine if you, using the reason and imagination of C.S. Lewis and the Bible, could guide others through the most exciting truths of the world – Mere Christianity!
Learn not only about C.S. Lewis’s life story and how his classic, Mere Christianity, became the most influential Christian book of the 20th Century, but how you too can disciple others in your home, church and neighbor- hood like C.S. Lewis did.
This livestream event with Dr. Joel Woodruff, President of the C.S. Lewis Institute will give you the intellectual and illustrative tools to explore with others why faith in Jesus Christ provides the best answer to the questions of life.

Since the U.S. government moved to an all-volunteer military in the 1970s the Army has advertised itself to potential recruits in various ways. In the 1980s the slogan was “Be all that you can be. Join the U.S. Army” or “It’s a great place to start.” The Army provided training that would prepare you for the job market, and through the G.I. Bill you could earn money for college. It was a great deal: Do yourself a favor. Fulfill your potential.
Randy Newman breaks evangelism down to a few component skills: presenting a concise summary of the gospel, sharing your personal testimony, answering apologetic questions, asking stimulating questions and offering invitations.
Many in the church today think that disciple making is someone else's ministry. But Jesus doesn't give us that option.
by Thomas A. Tarrants, III, D.Min.
