    C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.

    “God has delivered you unto me.” 
    Hidden away high amongst the arid cliffs of the western mountains sits the settlement of Vero. Under the watchful gaze of The Prophet, this village has long remained isolated. Said to be chosen by god himself, the divine leader wields absolute and unyielding control over the minds of his subjects. 
    As son of The Prophet, Finn Vale is de facto royalty within the compound. Independent and uninterested in his father’s teachings, the young man’s curiosity is piqued when a mysterious and handsome traveler arrives at the community. 
    Finn can’t help but stare at the charming foreigner’s thick biceps and powerful, masculine frame. It goes against his father’s teachings, but he wants to be alone with this stranger…he wants to fall to his knees. 
    He soon realizes there’s only one thing in life worth worshipping, and it’s between this man’s legs.

    Whoz Your Daddy: The Misadventures of Mike and Spike is the story of two head-strong sperm cells who are each determined to fertilize an available ovary that they arrive at simultaneously. A debate ensues as to which one of them deserves to father the egg, each basing the opportunity on much of the very same archaic dogma that many humans use to this very day, regarding racial superiority, class, wealth and religion. Mike and Spike soon come to learn that, in the end, as far as all those things are concerned, just being a good and decent human being gives a person far more value.
