Why get a new Screwtape Letters ? I love the feel and look of this annotated edition. â€¦I love the addition of red ink inside this book for the notes. There are a couple of hundred helpful annotations that first-time and veteran readers will find intriguing., C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational., [ The Screwtape Letters ] show[s] his ability to dramatize: to set forth an attractive vision of the Christian life, proceeding by means of character and plot to narrate an engaging story, everything colorful, vibrant, and active., Apparently this Oxford don and Cambridge professor is going to be around for a long time; he calls himself a dinosaur but he seems to speak to people where they are., C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.

Synopsis
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."

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., The Screwtape Letters by C.S.

Eye-Opening Christian Experience
I read this book myself a couple of years ago. It was an amazing eye-opening view of the effectiveness of Christians from the devil's and demons' perspective. My son is a new Christian and is not yet sanctified. He is full of opinions, as most young men are; but most are not biblical. Discussing theology with him is a miserable experience; he desires to debate and will not be proven incorrect even when he is. While he has never been much of a reader, he has been engrossed in THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS. He has carried the book with him everywhere he's gone. He has become enlightened to the seriousness of what it means to be an effective Christian, an effective witness, to be set apart from the world for the purposes of God. The book makes it clear as to the importance of "enduring to the end to be saved". He has come to realize that his opinions are not the ultimate say in life. God's word is true and real. And the worldly things we, as Christians, take lightly, are actually very serious matters in the spiritual realm. Have we excused lying? Have we quit praying? Have we been indulging in sexual sin? Are we witnessing or remaining quiet out of fear of being considered "intolerant" or "politically incorrect". The devil rejoices every time we do not heed the directives and precepts in the word of God. There is demonic victory in the spiritual realm when we make excuses for sin. Do we keep a "short list" with God? Or has it been so long since we sought out His will, wisdom and help, or worshipped Him in spirit and truth, or acknowledged that it is He who gives us our breathe from one minute to the next? Jesus is real. And we can live in victory with the power of the Holy Spirit daily. Or, we can, by apathy, serve satan daily. The choice is ours. C.S. Lewis brings the truths and urgency of daily service to the Lord into astonishingly clear view for the believer in THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS. I believe that true believers who read this book will never look at the blood of Jesus the same again. It is not a light thing when we cross the blood line to indulge in the sins of the world and the sins of the flesh. Directly, or indirectly, we are serving spiritual world, whether for Christ, or against Him when we do that. Read THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS to experience a spiritual enlightenment like you haven't known since you received Christ as your savior!Read full review

Challenging read
I ordered this book after hearing a recommendation on a TV worship service. Although I haven't read very far, the concept of a minion of the devil communicating with a lesser demon about a human is quite intriguing. I believe that I may receive some ideas about how to thwart Satan by doing the reverse of what the writer recommends to his underling! I can't lose by reading C. S. Lewis.😊

It's a reverse of Christian love from Satan's view point - written I believe to warn us that Satan is always looking for our week spots to tempt us away from focus on God and eternal life in his presence.

The Mechanics of Temptation -- a thought process
This time, I purchased Screwtape Letters to give away to members of my group. We will use the arguments proposed by Screwtape to examine human weaknesses and their constant desire to undermine their own interests through irrational behavior. The format is that outlined by Marion De La Torre. We just had our first chapter and I received extremely positive feedback. Without De La Torre's help, I would have approached Screwtape simply as entertainment as opposed to lessons to be learned. If you are familiar with C. S. Lewis' MERE CHRISTIANITY, you will find this equally enlightening. If you have not read MERE CHRISTIANITY, it is a 'must read.'
