First of all, C. S. Lewis is an amazing writer. But we knew that.

In The Screwtape Letters, Lewis provides for us a correspondence between two demons, an uncle and his nephew, bureaucrats in the “lowerarchy” (as opposed to “hierarchy”) of Hell working to secure souls for “the Father Below”. This is the framework in which Lewis describes all those temptations and demons that plague the lives of modern Christians. The Letters are funny yet very serious at the same time, as is true of many of Lewis’ works. Both a hopeful tale and a cautionary one, The Screwtape Letters is a good addition to any Christian’s reading list.

um i’m really putting off reading this. but i swear i will soon.

A wonderful allegory about our spiritual walk.

This and “I, Lucifer”..two books that should be read by everyone christian.

I think I need to go back and read this again (and again (and again)).

One of my all-time favorite books. It’s inspired me to write some of my own new letters.
