The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Ok guys I'm fully convinced thanks to this book. But I now need some guidance on how pray, what branch to follow, and what to look for in a church. I know most of you might have contradicting opinions when it comes to what branch but I want to hear out why I should follow your branch. Also if you have any more books that I can read on the subject of christianity (besides the bible of course) I would be happy to hear your recommendations. Thank you in advanced

C.S. Lewis was Catholic, so if his writing has fully convinced you, then you should become Catholic. Come home to Rome!

CS Lewis was Anglican, he says so in the book.

Orthodox Anglican. Close enough to Catholic. Come on in! Christ's church awaits you.

Which is fact.

Not necessarily, but we must admit that most historical Anglican figures would have either gone full Catholic or some other Protestant Sect if they had knew their church would have instituted female priests.

CS Lewis gets another one! He is very brilliant in his own quiet way, so his work, especially that book, is very enduring.

Have this public domain book by St. Paul of the Cross, the Passionist founder. I'm not Catholic, but Nihil Obstat books (i.e. those that pass their censor) are never bad. This book has been a continuing source of good advice for me personally so I hope you find it so.

Also, another thing; you don't need so many books. Spirituality isn't a book-learning kind of thing, but a personal experience kind of thing. It's good to have the advice of one or two masters, but it's not useful to have enough of them to go wandering seeking contradictory teachings. It's just a snare that comes with the kind of obedience and discipline that spirituality attempts to cultivate, besides, the spiritual writers themselves would downplay their differences when it comes to ascetic practices.

I think his choice for Anglicanism was deliberate. He was friends with Tolkien, who was a Catholic, and lovingly disagreed on points. He was also familiar with the post Oxford movement (i.e. Newman and others) who had converted from Anglicanism to Catholicism, but for some reason, Lewis held out hope for the Church of England.

Still though, it's a great testament to the man that he has fans everywhere.

I strongly recommend reading GK Chesterton's "Orthodoxy" as well. As far as denomination goes, consider becoming Calvinist.

The papacy is the most important issue, or in practice, having your obedience to Christ not by to yourself but an actual authority/hierarchy on earth. These two lectures cover the big points well.
