A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life 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 and humorous account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written—Goodreads

C.S. Lewis was an incredible writer. I read Roberts comment and it is exactly my thoughts. I will have to look into his books and the movies Robert mentioned. I have heard of many wise men and women that have read and commented on his literary genius. I will certainly look into your sharing of information of him. Thank you Anaya for sharing...

This sounds like quite a spiritual odyssey which you've laid out and have piqued my curiosity as well, Anaya. I shall ferret out the movie and try to engage with the theological content. Thank you for sharing, Robert
