Lewis did apologetics, too. Like many people, I read his "Mere Christianity" when I was in the process of becoming an atheist. It was recommended to me by someone who was concerned about me, I guess.

I didn't find it convincing, just as I didn't find other apologists convincing.

I never read the Narnia series at all. I don't do fantasy fiction.
