This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is 'lost' to the young devil.
Dedicated to Lewis's friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, The Screwtape Letters is a timeless classic on spiritual warfare and the invisible realities which are part of our religious experience.

The book is sparkling yet truly reverent, in fact a perfect joy, and should become a classic.
Excellent, hard-hitting, challenging, provoking.
I read this book some time ago. I remember being gripped to it's pages and almost unable to put it down. I was fascinated at how C.S.Lewis, through this story of a junior devils efforts to bring down a new christian, made spiritual warfare more real to me. Not only did it make it more real, it made it easier to recognize. I've read this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
