Lewis, I'd recommend starting with Mere Christianity; it might be the most relevant to you at the moment.<br /><br />In the past, I've quite unashamedly read several of the Dummies books on computers. Let's be honest, when it came to computers, I was a dummy. I was well into the edge of middle age (depending on where you define the "edge" LOL!) before they became household necessities. But I wasn't going to let my children get THAT far ahead of me. And the books were very helpful. <br /><br />I like the way you're assembling books on your new interest--it's the way I operate too, when I want to start learning something new.Stitchworthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387323354607079249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216267552187166205.post-10885581800223488762012-03-27T23:07:55.617-07:002012-03-27T23:07:55.617-07:00I didn't get it either and the cartoon version...I didn't get it either and the cartoon version scared me when I saw it at age 6. The movie version that came out a few years ago is FABULOUS. The sequel (Prince Caspian) disappointed me though because they didn't stay faithful to the book.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567286104645119169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216267552187166205.post-88180487395137649482012-03-26T07:28:47.656-07:002012-03-26T07:28:47.656-07:00The more I read of C.S.

I've heard so many people say that Catholicism for Dummies is a great book but I've yet to read it. I'll definitely be adding it to my list of books.K.

(it was also a pre-req of my mother-in-law's for marrying my husband but that's another story.) they're also a simplistic way of dealing with christian topics like atonement, creation, and the end times.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567286104645119169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216267552187166205.post-24355701815183774902012-03-24T20:57:03.533-07:002012-03-24T20:57:03.533-07:00The titles of the "Dummies" books and th...The titles of the "Dummies" books and the "Idiot's Guide To..." both turn me off to the whole series of them.

I wish now that people realized that the series offers thoughtful, in-depth information on the chosen subject, the publishers would give the books a more sedate make over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629132804649152538noreply@blogger.com
