About this ebook

Temptation and Deception Made Easy

The demon Wormwood first became famous through his correspondence with his uncle Screwtape, published in The Screwtape Letters. We are now privileged to peruse his field notebook from that demonic training session, complete with scribbles, notes, and excerpts from his uncle's letters. Wormwood's instructions, mission statements, and maxims for special occasions create a "best of Screwtape" that offers witty and cutting strategies for how best to corrupt a brand new Christian and steal him from the "Enemy" -- God.

If the best defense is to know your opponent's game book, this is a must read for all those who want to retain their souls.

Ratings and reviews

I would not say I'm a studious consumer of C.S. Lewis's writings, but I will say I love everything I've read from this once atheist! I will have to ask him about his relationship with J.R.R. Tolkien! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to bloviate! Really, I love everything I've read from Brother Lewis! The first books I read by him were the Narnia Series!
