5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Fun with the Devil!, July 22, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

"The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn." -- Luther

"The devill... that prowde spirite... cannot endure to be mocked." -- Thomas More

Here Lewis does his best to make fun of the devil by means of an imagined exchange of letters between an "apprentice" devil and his mentor, an old seasoned demon named Screwtape. The letters tell as much about human beings as they do about the wiles of the devil, and have been justly famous and loved by Christians since their first publication in 1943. This edition also includes a preface in which Lewis answers an oft asked question: Does he really believe in devils? -- and there is a new section absent from earlier editions: Screwtape Propsoses a Toast. Highly recommended!
