Welcome to Litsy!

What struck me most about this book is its relevance, even decades after it was first published. Lewis's insights into the human condition are as pertinent today as they were back then, reminding us that the battle between good and evil is as old as time itself.....

A classic satire of temptation done in letter format between the devil and one of his demon underlings. I have read this many times and it gets better with each reading.

I don't have a photo of this book, because I "read" it via an audio library book. C. S. Lewis shows in a clever way how Satan uses the smallest thing to bring us down. Told in a series of letters from Uncle Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, Screwtape tells how to undermine the enemy (God) and keep the patient (man) from falling into the ultimate horror (Heaven). I highly recommend it!

For the present is the point at which time touches eternity.

As I was reading the book I came across an ad for the play. It was a powerful performance. Now it makes me just want to finish the book even faster. C.S. Lewis is genius!

"Your business is to fix his attention on the stream. Teach him to call it “real life” and don't let him ask what he means by “real”.

Sorry to post twice in one day but I just received another copy of Screwtape. I collect all editions of Screwtape Letters • I LOVE THE COVERS
