About this listen
The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation, and triumph over it, ever written.
(P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.What the critics say
Audie Award Finalist, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2007
Known for The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis wrote the wittiest defense of Christianity ever. Humorist John Cleese won AudioFile Earphones for his 1999 enactment of the correspondence between two devils plotting the damnation of one man's soul. Ralph Cosham is a slightly less demented fiend, but the text itself remains hilarious.... Cosham's organ-like voice also lends resonance.... This is, therefore, the best audio ever spoken of the funniest defense of Christianity ever written." (AudioFile magazine)
"Lewis' satire is a Christian classic....[his] take on human nature is as on-target as it was when the letters were first published in 1941." (Library Journal)

An old favourite
Totally pleased to have found this classic by CS Lewis free as part of my membership in Audible. As always, a brilliant allegory using language that requires thinking.

Wise words on human nature
I took a while to finish this audiobook, one chapter at a time, in between other audiobooks. It contains a lot of substance, and going through quickly would have caused indigestion.
While this is Christian literature, there is lots of wisdom that stem from C.S. Lewis’s shrewd observation of human nature and politics. Over half a century on after Lewis completed this work, the observations are as spot-on as before.

So relevant in todays’ climate
CS Lewis wrote this in the 1940’s. Here we are 80 years later we’re seeing similar societal behaviours. The enemy is up to his same old tricks.

Brilliant
I felt those demons speak as in from within myself, CS Lewis is frighteningly intuned with humans moral experiences! Very well written & so valuable to learn about yourself.

Very Unique and very useful book. Written by a great writer and narrated to perfection. If you don't believe in good or evil, you should read this book.

Revealing
A book that one should listen to at least twice a year to keep yourself in check and uncover the evil and selfishness that creeps into your life.

A challenging, thought provoking, timeless read
loved this book. it dares to challenge popular AND traditional thought. you cannot help but to examine yourself, your beliefs, and in the end your behaviour. I read this in a small group of 3 persons, and followed a study guide available on line.
