He did the same for me, friend. Years ago, as I thumbed through a copy of Mere Christianity, it was that precise quote which I posted to Torie which literally ignited my return to a genuine faith in Christ. An electric moment, so to speak. Up until that point my "intellect" had been a sort of barrier to genuine faith. Lewis' unassailable reasoning penetrated that wall and set in motion the transformation of my intellect and logic from barriers to faith to building blocks of faith.
Thank you for that quote.
If we could only have schools use his books at all.Maybe the next generation would have a chance.
