About this audiobook

A timeless classic on “Hell’s latest novelties and Heaven’s unanswerable answer”

A masterpiece of satire, this classic work has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the 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 worldly wise old 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, offering insights on good vs. evil, repentance, grace, and more.

So this is perfect representation of the USA and the world as a whole. It speaks directly of what's actively happening to destroy our souls. The destruction of education, the middle class, gender, marriage, relationships, the nuclear family and the false narrative of the individual as being greater than the group/Civilization. Bending over backwards to accept those that only want to bring destruction and collapse of our fundamental and long standing ways of life. This is an educational book, not so much a novel. It is a cautionary tale of what has happened and what will happen. This book is written perfectly and needs nothing further, besides a reader who is willing to look at their own faults. Step away from God, you'll be stepping towards Satan. "Good person" or not. This book is warning you, will you listen? 4.5/5

Awesome way to tell the other side of the story. See things from the enemy's point of view, in where WE (humankind) are the enemy.

It's amazing, no matter how hard the demons try their work is futile when we are under Gods protection.
