The Screwtape letters
C.S. Lewis is one of my favourite authors. Last year for my birthday, one of my friends gave me The Screwtape Letters for my birthday. On the inside cover she wrote that "it was about time you started reading C.S. Lewis". She was right.The Screwtape Letters was my first C.S. Lewis book. It was great, and it really makes the reader take inventory of his/her own thoughts, motives, and actions. C.S. Lewis captures the nature of that great struggle for your soul. Read and enjoy.

This book is one those rare finds that somehow combines the characteristic of being a generally easy read with the ability to kick you in the face with its truth and meaning. As the book progresses, it does seem to get harder, but that doesn't take away from the overall greatness of this book. In comparison to Mere Christianity, it's a much easier book to read, but seems to be directed to a smaller, already-Christian audience. Having said that, I would recommend it to anyone willing to take the time to read it and put the effort into getting something out of it, regardless of religious beliefs. It doesn't take a lot of effort, but as with any book that requires self-reflection, you won't get something out of it if you don't let yourself.

Problem, how do you take a book as good, timely, useful, insightful and intelligent as C.S. Lewis' THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS and improve on it?Answer: Make an audio version and add John Cleese as Screwtape. His great timing, his irreverant humor, (not easy to express with established and unchanging lines!) and a history of making us laugh at bureaucrats and you have an audio book on morality that gets its message accross even better than it did in print.Of course there are those who don't like the message of the book in the first place, for them it can be percieved as entertainment and fine entertainment. I can't believe something this good is out of print, well print is the wrong word. Find it! Buy it! Learn from it! Enjoy it!

Screwtape Letters brings John Cleese and CS Lewis together in an extraordinary coupling. Lewis's genius is presented with great skill and, of course, incredible humour, by Cleese. I loved these tapes and will enjoy them for a long time as there is much to absorb. They are not to be listened to once and then forgotten. These tapes can be enjoyed forever.

An important read for Christians. I guarantee it will challenge some aspect of your "world"-view! It has reminded me to stay on guard.

Really really great book. Made me fall in love with Lewis' writing style. Fairly easy to read yet it also makes you stop and think. I'll definitely be reading this book a second time. :)Good if you want an easy-thinker read...if that makes any sense.
