A masterpiece of satire, this classic 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.

The Narrator Can Make or Break a Book,

This review is from: The Screwtape Letters (Audio CD)
The Narrator of this Screwtape Letters audio version MAKES the book fantastic. Ralph Cosham brings to life Screwtape, with his beautiful deep English accent.
Screwtape Letters is a book of letters written to an underling devil who is at first trying to keep his 'patient' from converting to Christianity. When he fails and the patient converts, Screwtape is very displeased. The letters then take on a new tactic whereby since the patient is a Christian, the attempt becomes one of trying to keep from making the Christian life real and deep spiritually. Obviously the point it to make the reader Christian aware of the devious methods that satan uses to draw the Christian from Christ. Cosham's reading is stellar.

This review is from: The Screwtape Letters (Audio CD)
Enjoyable recording and a reasonable value. The novel presentation of spiritual warfare through this perspective allows one to reflect on life's choices and their potential consequences. It reminds me of the concept that lies do not come in colors and all sins lead in the same direction.

This review is from: The Screwtape Letters (Audio CD)
d recommend this be one of the first books you read as you start your spiritual journey. This is a profound piece of literature that will jolt you awake from your apathetic musings and stir you to the depths of your soul.
I was a Christian for 12+ years before I discovered "Screwtape Letter" and it was of inestimable worth for me, but I regretted not having found it much sooner. It's one of those books (like E. L. Prentiss's "Stepping Heavenward") that feels like it was written JUST for you. "Screwtape Letters" has that same feel - that C. S. Lewis crawled into your consciousness and described every mental battle you've ever had - and explains that those subtle arguments which steered you away from spiritual growth, were cleverly disguised devilish whispers. As Lewis points out, the path to hell is a gentle slope. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to differentiate between God's thoughts and the lies of evil. "Screwtape Letters" pulls back the curtain and reveals evil's best kept secrets and oh-so subtle tricks.
