Summary: Classics
Review: A set of classics for an unbeatable price! These books are a must have for any Christian's bookshelf (or non-Christian wanting to study Christianity). My special favorite is the "Screwtape Letters." A great laugh and very easy reading. A good way to be introduced to C.S. Lewis if you haven't already been through "The Chronicles of Narnia."

Summary: An engaging exploration of the Christian faith
Review: C. S. Lewis once wrote that the greatest thinkers are not only those who can explore complex abstractions or philosophical ideas, but also those who can write them in such a way as to be thoroughly understood by laymen; and Lewis himself is a master in this regard. Here in this attractive set, we have many of the most popular works of this atheist-turned Christian scholar. Though he was a scholar of medieval English at Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis is easy to understand, witty, and engaging. Reading his work is a real pleasure. Not only does it entertain you (it really does) but it forces you to think through 'deep' issues as well. Highly recommended for the atheist, the Christian and anyone in between!

Summary: A must have for Christian thinkers
Review: CS Lewis is one of the great modern Christian writers. His writings are non-denominational, and can be appreciated by people of any faith. This box set contains some (though not all!) of his best work.'Mere Christianity' is a great introduction to Lewis's way of thinking. Originally a series of radio addresses, this work details why Lewis is a Christian, and presents a case for Christianity that is compelling, to say the least. 'The Screwtape Letters' is my personal favorite. It is fiction, written from the unique point of view of a master devil named Screwtape. The master is trying to teach his nephew how to win souls for the devil through temptation. This one will definitely change the way you look at sin. 'The Problem of Pain.' -- what is pain? Well, Lewis tackles this subject here, and argues that God gives us pain because he loves us, and in order to mold us to his will. 'A Grief Observed' is a very intimate work, written after Lewis's wife died. It is, quite simply, a very honest and unique look at grieving, which shows this master Christian apologist, who seems to always have all the answers, vulnerable and without a solution. 'The Great Divorce' is Lewis's 'Divine Comedy.' This is a great look at Heaven and Hell, and presents the very compelling idea that people will go to Hell, not because they are forced to, but because they simply won't tolerate Heaven. 'Miracles' examines the question "can miracles occur?" For Lewis, the answer is yes, and this book shows how the Creator of Nature and mankind can work miracles without interrupting the 'natural' flow of things. Buying these books together in a set is a good way to get these six classics at a great price. This is a wonderful starting point for anyone interested in Christian theology. No one interested in Christian thinker should be without these masterpieces by CS Lewis.

Summary: A must have collection if you like CS Lewis
Review: I bought the box set after reading CS Lewis's books, the problem of pain and mere Christianity. They are both great books. If you like his work, buy the box set instead of individual books and it can save you some money.

Summary: C.S. Lewis is amazing
Review: I find his works to be amazing even after my third or forth read through. I cannot not think of anybody else who is better in the field.

Summary: Brilliantly Written
Review: I was recently introduced to C.S. Lewis. After reading The Screwtape Letters, I had to read more of his work. Thus, I purchased and read Cs Lewis Signature Classics. It was great. I recommend this collection to anyone interested in Lewis or great literature in general.

Summary: An Eminently Logical Case for the Christian Faith
Review: Mere Christianity is one of the two best logical logical cases for the Christian faith I have read. Lewis first brilliantly lays a foundation, logically showing that the universe (external and internal) demands logically that some form of God exists. He then compares various theories of God with what we find in reality, and finds that only the Christian one honestly stands. At this point, he continues into details of the Christian faith. Any one honestly seeking to understand Christianity, and/or trying to decide if it is true, will find a powerful, rational case here for "yes." The other book I mentioned is Charles Colson's How Now Shall We Live, whose conlusions are based on real-life studies and experiences, rather the more pure logical base of Lewis' writing. They are two halves of a whole perspective, the theory and the application, and I would especially suggest both to any Christian reader.

Summary: Every apologist and skeptic should read this
Review: No-one should be allowed in apologetics until s/he has read C. S. Lewis' "Miracles" at least four or five times, and no-one should question whether miracles can occur until reading it. "The Great Divorce" and "The Screwtape Letters" are clearly among the classics of Christianity. I am also currently reading "The Problem of Pain" and "Mere Christianity." So far both are excellent books.
