Summary
A Masterpiece of Satire on Hell’s Latest Novelties and Heaven’s Unanswerable Answer

C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the unique vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to “Our Father Below.” At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the wordly-wise devil to his nephew Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

Very to the Point ☝️

Christian literature at it's most original. The book is from the perspective of a senior demon named Screwtape who is coaching his nephew Wormwood on how to tempt good people to do bad. This audiobook is a classic.

The book gives great perspective, and the narrator really brings it to life!

to the point.

The satirical style and short letters contained in this book helps to make the deep, heavy truths it contains more digestible, although I had to read each one multiple times to really grasp it. It is by far one of the books that has has the greatest impact on my ability to notice how the enemy and spiritual forces are silently at work by sowing discord, keeping us busy, doing everything in their power to prevent us from waking up to the truth of the spiritual realm, and once we have, to keep us from devoting the whole of our lives and being to Christ.

Well done!

Excellent. So many parts made me laugh because what Screwtape was saying about people was so right on. Everyone I’ve suggested this book to, has loved it too
