Mere Christian: Stories from the Light

by Michael Coren

"Thank you for the tears dear brother! Yes, that is what I have just shed. After reading your deeply moving stories. What stories Michael. I have just sent them round our office staff and the tears are flowing - with gratitude for the marvelous goodness of God. Thank you for your friendship." -RAVI ZACHARIAS "Michael Coren is abundantly worth reading. His unique perspectives open up whole new vistas on the Christian faith. We are fortunate to have this new book from him." -TONY CAMPOLO "Sometimes laughter, sometimes confrontation, always informative and intellectually stimulating. Michael skillfully nudges me into thinking laterally about issues small and great. His newspaper columns, his books published in many languages and his personal appearances have the same practical, attitude-changing impact." -DAVID MAINSE Michael Coren, well known journalist, TV/radio host and author of more than 10 books, including a popular C.S. Lewis biography, takes a cue from the master story teller himself, borrowing from one of his great titles and delivering some Lewis-style, inspiring stories of his own. Mere Christian is a collection of heart warming stories and strong opinions with a refreshing perspective on God's presence in the life of every believer. This book contains some of Michael's best insights and wit. It's filled with carefully woven reflections on Christendom's most controversial subjects, and moving anecdotes that will bring the reader into contact with ordinary people who experience the extraordinary work of God in their every-day lives.

Reviews

[Rod Horncastle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had to read this: Ravi Zacharias approved of it.

This is a whole bunch of amazing stories and RANTS from a Christian perspective. Lots of history and current affairs that need to be carefully reflected upon. Good stuff.

Found out later the guy is a Catholic Apologist: hmmm... not in this book.
