I'd have to say Mere Christianity, but he has such good bits in all of his writings, whether fiction or non-.

'Til We Have Faces. I forces you to distinguish between all the jumbled
emotions we mistake for love and realize the true motivation for those
feelings. It demonstrates that real genuine love is the realization of the
purity that unites all souls and the sublimation of one's selfishness to truly
understand another human being without relating to them based on what
they can do for you. It makes you realize that all real love is the same, be
it the love for a man and a woman, a mother and child or a mortal and a
god. Its breathtaking.

The problem of pain. Im still reading it but its already a fav; so far pain is neccessary if we are to have the gift of free will. If God could turn a bullet fired in anger into a gust of air then he'd be denying us our free will. So pain in many ways is neccessary for life, if it didnt exist then what would be the point in living, what would distinguish us from puppets. In the case of natural disasters and what have you, pain, emotional or physical, provides an opportunity for heroism, from which we can either draw courage or stagnate. Pain encourages life and defines it.
