SPIRITUALITY

“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.”—John Updike

C. S. Lewis may be best known for his children’s series, The Chronicles of Narnia. In addition to these wonders Lewis left us a rich store of writing on Christianity. The Screwtape Letters is a brilliant satire in which an experienced demon, Screwtape, instructs his protégé, Wormwood, in the art of tempting the faithful. A modern classic, brilliantly conceived and executed.

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, by C. S. Lewis (1942; HarperSanFrancisco, 2001)
