DESCRIPTION:
The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation -- and triumph over it -- ever written, offering insights on good vs. S. Read by Ralph Cosham 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. evil, repentance, grace, and more.. 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
Cleese's voice provides the perfect vehicle for Lewis's dry, razor-edged wit. It's clear that he's having a great time reading, and it's impossible not to laugh along with him. This inspired pairing of two of the 20th century's greatest wits makes for a meditation on the dark side of spiritual guidance that's as relevant and funny today as it was in Lewis's war-torn England. (Running time: 4 hours, 3 cassettes) --Andrew Neiland. This adaptation of C.S. Lewis's biting satire received a 1999 Grammy nomination for best spoken-word performance, and it's easy to see why--the story fits the format perfectly.

It.isn't difficult to read, (as I know he can be), rather, these are letters written from Screwtape, whom Mr Lewis refers to as the devil; to his nephew and pupil Wormwood. In these letters, Screwtape explains to Wormwood what he is doing wrong in trying to 'turn the patient' which is how Screwtape describes getting a Christian person to turn away from the Enemy, as he refers to God.Don't worry about reading.

From husband Dan: I'm not a big reader by any means and I have a hard time finding books that I do like. Even if I find a book I like, I don't always get around to finishing it. But I loved this book! At least for me, this was not a quick read. Lewis's writing style, that of Screwtape, on Satan's side, writing a letter to his nephew, is not always easy to understand the first time through.
