The Screwtape Letters Review: Profound Christian Insight and Advice--Even from the Pen of a Fictional Demon! - I've read this before (around 5 years ago), but this time I enjoyed it way more than last time, and I think I was able to follow Lewis' thoughts much better. In sum, this book was full of insight after insight about how we as humans work, how we are variously and subtly tempted in the Christian life, and even who God (referred to as 'the Enemy' throughout) is and how we works for the good of his people. Many might think this is mainly fiction, or satire, or just a strange book that is about how demons might work, but the book is much more profound than that. It most certainly isn't just fiction; it includes some satire, but isn't mainly such; and Lewis does use the letters from one demon to another as his template; but in reality, this is just as clear and profound as Lewis' other classic works on Christianity-such as Mere Christianity. In fact, I would say that if read slowly, this book is just as profound. Just instead of it being longer chapters with longer arguments, each of the 31 chapters in this book has its own main argument (or multiple) that really shed much insight on the Christian faith. Of the 31 chapters, I marked 15 of them as really great and worth revisiting over and over. I will keep this book always in close range on my bookshelf simply because it is so full of practical advice and illustrations about the Christian life. I will not quote or list most of the insights here-just for the sake of time-but here are the main topics that he talked about. I will word them as coming from evil's perspective, and will put the chapter number in parenthesis. - Keep the Christian "in the stream" and not really thinking about bigger things (1) - Use the War, but watch out for how the Enemy can use it (5) - Use anxiety about the Future; make him lack self-awareness (6) - Make him extreme on either side (it doesn't really matter much) on Politics (7) - Use Pleasures (even though that's Enemy territory), and make him a nominal believer (9) - Make him spend his time, all throughout life, doing and getting Nothing (12) - Manipulate his 'Humility' (14) - Keep him from seeing the Present and eternity; focus him on the Future (15) - How to use sex and marriage (18) - Make him think he has ownership on time; how to twist the word 'my' (21) - How to use this quest for the Historical Jesus (23) - Make him crave novelty; twist his desire (25) - Change the Christian idea of 'Love' for the negative idea of 'Unselfishness' (26) - Use the world slowly over time to attach him to the world (28) - Use a little Fatigue; and twist the idea of what is 'real' (30) These are the main insights about the Christian life I listed. Although, there are many more. SPOILER ALERT BELOW: Finally, I simply want to mention the last chapter. The last chapter was different as it was not about how to tempt the Christian man because he suddenly died. Rather, it was about one demon (frustratingly) explaining what happened to him at those moments after death. In short, this chapter was beautiful. It really was. Almost made me cry tears of joy. Lewis so clearly and cleverly--even through the disgusted pen of a fictional demon!--and so wonderfully captures the Christian's final deliverance from all evil, how the Christian will see all the angels that helped him along the way, and especially the moment when the Christian will finally see God himself, Jesus Christ, and be finally home. Again, the last chapter is beautiful. And it is a perfect ending to the book. In sum, although it uniquely is a book containing 31 letters from one demon to the other, it is super applicable, insightful, clever, and even beautiful as it shows who God is and the future he has for his people. Without a doubt, I would wholeheartedly recommend the book. Read it as slowly as it takes; take it in; and see the shining glory of God, especially as it is contrasted with the backdrop of the darkness. Review: C.S. Lewis Shines - Some books comfort us, some books challenge us, and then there are books like The Screwtape Letters that quietly pull back the curtain on our lives and ask us to pay closer attention to the small choices that shape our souls. First published in 1942, Lewis delivers this story as a series of letters from a senior demon, Screwtape, to his inexperienced nephew Wormwood. This is Lewis at his satirical finest. By letting the demons narrate the strategy of temptation, he turns the whole moral landscape upside down and reveals truths about human nature that are both hilarious and unsettling. The brilliance of the book is its inversion. By looking at faith, doubt, pride, and distraction from evil’s perspective, Lewis reveals how ordinary and subtle spiritual struggle really is. Reading it again reminded me how often our spiritual lives are shaped by tiny compromises: irritation instead of patience, distraction instead of prayer, pride instead of humility. Lewis exposes those patterns with wit, satire, and a surprising amount of humor, but beneath the cleverness is a deeply serious warning about the slow drift away from truth. Lewis had a remarkable gift for making profound theology accessible, and The Screwtape Letters may be one of his most clever and enduring works. C.S. Lewis has been a friend in my reading life for many years, but the older I get, the more his wisdom feels like the voice of a trusted companion. This year with Lewis has already been a blessing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #148 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Christian Classics & Allegories (Books) #1 in Inspirational Spirituality (Books) #11 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (19,907) | | Dimensions | 5.43 x 0.43 x 7.99 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0060652934 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0060652937 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | February 6, 2001 | | Publisher | HarperOne | ## Images ![The Screwtape Letters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71W-XT7Ls1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profound Christian Insight and Advice--Even from the Pen of a Fictional Demon! *by R***S on March 20, 2018* I've read this before (around 5 years ago), but this time I enjoyed it way more than last time, and I think I was able to follow Lewis' thoughts much better.
