Hi All,
Since I love trivia and giving away good books, I decided to start up the free book give-away trivia contests again, this going with different themes, either of authors or subjects. Also, this time I'm going to give the winner(s) a chance to choose from a number of books. So anyway, the first book giveaway will be books by one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis.
Here are the trivia questions all of them are somehow related to Lewis, his life, times, and work. First person to send all the correct answers to me via PM wins their choice of:
The Screwtape Letters: Lewis' most amusing work, written as a dialogue between a master and an apprentice devil.
Mere Christianity: An introduction to and defense of the Christian faith originally done as a series of radio talks by Lewis during the Second World War.
The Problem of Pain: Aimed more at the Christian audience, Lewis answers why an all-loving and all-powerful God would allow suffering and shows that suffering can work for good.
