Our New Book: The Screwtape Letters
Our newest book is The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis. According to the official website, C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. Lewis wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. C. S. Lewis’s most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a satirical novel about a senior demon who advises his nephew through a series of letters on how to tempt a human away from God. The novel explores the concept of temptation and how to lead a good Christian life. The author was struck by the book’s idea after listening to a radio broadcast speech from Adolph Hitler and was originally titled From One Devil to Another.
