Miracles

Narrated by: Julian Rhind-Tutt

Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this."

This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds and provides a poetic and joyous affirmation that miracles really do occur in our everyday lives.

Best in life lessons and destiny. Miracle physics.

C. S. Lewis explains God's will and how it affects all our lives
whether you know Him or not.

Where would the Christian thinker be without Lewis

Lewis takes you on a long wordy journey to deconstruct our natural assumptions of the world. it was a tough read until the payoff in the last 2 chapters.

Intellectual Defense of Miracles

C.S. Lewis brought a great factual and logical argument for the existence of miracles, and showing the Biblical miracles as consistent with God’s character, dividing them into Old and New miracles. The last 3 chapters were my personal favorite. Great work!

Brilliant, but...

Classic Lewis, though at times too dense for an audiobook. Perhaps better to purchase in print.

Really enjoyed it.

The narrator did a really nice job, and the book was thought-provoking and interesting through its entirety.

Not How, but Why

I found it surprising to listen to this. What I thought was going to be an explanation of miracles ended up being an explanation of why Christians need to believe in these miracles.

Excellent book

I could only listen a little while in
a session because so many deep thoughts and lessons. Brilliant.

Excellent book for the learned and the skeptic

It's not a proof, a conviction, or even an apology; but an argument. Going into this with a completely open mind or an entirely closed one will get you nothing. If you intend to simply listen, then you're much better off. If you want to hear someone serious who is: smarter than you, and probably better read; logically argue through why miracles do in fact exist, then this is the book for you.

Philosophical depth

This is among the more philosophically dense books I’ve read, and I enjoyed the methodical delight of Lewis’ arguments. For me, this book required a lot of rewinding. His case against the legitimacy of any rational case for naturalism (on the basis that naturalism itself precludes the possibility of reason being other than the inevitable machinations of fixed laws) takes a while to develop. Several chapters in, with this groundwork laid, the book takes off.

Great

I wish they would record these in American, the English are hard to understand. I loved this book! It goes over my head so badly that I had to listen to each chapter 2 to 3 times. Each time it makes more sense and is the awesome that C.S. Lewis is. I learned so much that I can't contain it all and I'm going to have to listen to the entire thing again later. Worth it!
